Does my computer have a problem?

[Bboysoda]

Awhile ago, the motherboard for this computer brokedown, and we had to replace it. We went to a computer tech shop, and they installed one for us.

After we got it back, somethings stoped working. The Ethernet Card in the back(the one that came defult with the PC) stoped working. I had to add another card in it. Also, the sound inputs in the front dont work. I have to use the back ones, which is hard to get to.

Also with RAM, i have 512, but it seems to be getting full alot faster, or im not really sure. My brother and I use 2 computers, he has a 512 PC like me, but with the Motherboard he got when we bought it. He doesnt run out of RAM like me, and we dont do anythig different.

After I listen to music, search the web, do some art project, then I play a game, I lag like crazy, I think its the RAM filling up. After i restart, my PC is back to normal.

I keep getting little annoying problem eversence I got that new Motherboard. I was just wondering if anyone can help.

This is my Comp Spec with CPU-Z. (Attachments 2 Files)

Thanks in Advanced

Try entering the Bios (Pressing F1 or Delete During boot) this is where your system options for hardwares are configured in the several sections you can enable or disable things like onboard (on the Motherboard) video, sound, Network Card. Make sure the onboard NIC is enabled.

You could also check in the device manager...

Hope that helps, if you need more help just post a message here!

The front audio ports are probably just not connected to the mobo, that you should be able to do yourself. Just check the mobo manual for where you need to connect the cables and that's it.

Im not sure what the NIC is. I guess ill check to see if the options are turned on?

When we first got the computer, it was used, and my dad used it for awhile, I dont think we have the manual for it anymore.

Does the new motherboard have a different chipset than the old one? Did you reload windows?

I dont know, I wasent using the computer when I got it. I dont have any info on the old motherboard. And iv been using the computer for a few months with windows. Just these little problems are annoying ><
