Computer issues...
 

So I was encoding video and decided to jump in the shower while I was waiting for it to finish. When I came back to the computer, my computer had just shut off. When I turned it back on my icq window popped up for me to log in and then there was also a hotkey keyboard thing that popped up. I closed it out. Then I went to see if my video had finished before the computer turned off. When I played it there was no sound but the video worked in windows media player. So I tried playing music and there was no sound. So I tried to play another video and still no sound. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Any suggestions on what to do? I tried redownloading windows media player, but that didn't work.

Please help if you can!

Thanks!

Did you run a spyware checker and virus scan?? That is weird that windows shut down.

What are you editing with?

I am running PC Onpoint right now to see if it finds something. After that I will try another virus scanner. I was using VideoCharge. I have been using it all day and hadn't had any problems.
It was really weird because as soon as I walked away from the computer it just shut off.
And I have never had that hotkey keyboard pop up before either.

Sounds like your sound card drivers need to be reloaded. Hit me up on ICQ if you need a walk through.

The hotkey keyboard popup is the thing, you probably have something on the computer. Try and get microsoft anti-spyware and adaware. See what happens.

Thank you guys for your help! I am running adaware now. Miky Munky, it that doesn't work, I may take you up on your offer...lol.
Thank you Little Mack!

NP, hope that helps, something got corrupted somewhere. Computers just dont shut down for no reason.

Sure they do.. if it's a Windows computer...

I offer computer help in return for sex.

Not being mean but do a search on Google 'how to encode video' and you will find out that you will need another computer to encode :)

First thing I would do is setup a computer that is dedicated to only encoding. Our video box isnt even hooked to the net. Good Luck!

Okay ran adaware and didn't help. When I rebooted my computer, it popped up that I had new found hardware. It is MultiMedia Audio Controller. Do I want to go ahead and install it?

I was doing my video on another computer then I messed up the computer, that was my own stupid fault. I have another computer to do it on, but I haven't gotten it all set up yet.
Thanks guys for your replies!

Okay can't install the audio controller :(

You ROCK!!! Thank you sooooooooooo much!!! :thumbsup

No worries... any time. :pimp

Is your sound card built in type or not?

Looks like a hardware problem. Have tried playing the video to a another pc?
