pyrochild Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If so, add me as a friend online. I am: Gamer_World14 OK but I don't play very often, and online even less so.

SkullSplitter Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Rant: There's something wrong with my laptop. It has on numerous occasions shut itself down, all of a sudden and for no apparent reason. Then when I turn it on there's no sound. The sound comes back if I restart or restore the system and then it will either work perfectly for a few days or it will shut itslef down in an hour or two (sometimes less). It happens most often while watching videos like YouTube etc. I am very confused and infuriated about this :evil: Probably a virus Quote My gallery Spider-man signature tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Could be an overheating issue, perhaps with your video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 No sound, or no sound on Youtube? Do you get sound from other programs? Quote  The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkullSplitter Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 No sound at all. But it comes back if I restart. I thought at first it might be overheating but I wasn't sure. What happens is, I start watching a video, it starts lagging for a while and then the screen turns black and it turns off. (Now that I think of it I think it only happens when watching videos...) If it is an overheating problem, should I get it fixed or is there a simpler solution? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Boude Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 if you didn't modify your laptop the chance of overheating is quite small, however if the weather is hot or when something is blocking the opening for the fan the chance of overheating becomes larger.

Gamer_World14 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I had the same problem happen to me with no sound playing on YouTube about six months back. The problem behind the solution was that I needed to update my Adobe Shockwave player. Also check to see if you have the latest driver updates.

SkullSplitter Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 It's not just youtube. I think Mike Ryan is right and it's overheating. The laptop still has warranty on it so we're going to take it to the PC doctor and see if there's anything that can be fixed. You are free to rant about something else now.
