Hi, I have problems with my laptop. I have a 2 and 1/5 year old HP g6065ea (it came with Vista, Now on WIN 7) and first my DVD drive started playing tricks on me... while burning a DVD it made error in nero and it disappeared from my computer after restart it worked but then disappeared again. And so on and off for about a month(during this time it wouldn't boot from CD/DVD), now it's not recognized at all, as if it's not there.
Today my sound stopped after exiting a game that asked for OpenAL before starting. I installed OpenAL and the game worked after I closed the game, the music in WMP went mute, it said it was playing but no sound. After restart it said no audio devise. After several restarts still nothing. I reseted the bios by taking out the battery. The sound came back with no problem but after a few minutes of playing video on youtube the sound disappeared again. Tried changing the volume and "Volume mixer" crashed.
Now I can't bring back the sound card whatever I do... In HWinfo it says unknown or no card installed and in Device Manager there's no trace of sound card.
So is my Laptop dying? What can I do?
Sorry for the long post. Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. Oh and I have dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 and it doesn't find the DVD/Audio also. And it also has problems starting up, stops at bios sometimes.
