No sound on packard-bell 7 year old PC. How do I get sound on this

A Packard Bell Computer. Cool. I am going to say that your European? Packard Bell Computers are no longer sold in the US that I know of for some years now. Try this web site and good luck! http://www.packardbell.com/index.html

you are getting a post error from a hardware componet... if your system ismore than 5 years old its time to say good bye andreplace..

You could try removing items from startup. Start > Run > type MSConfig > Startup. Uncheck items you don't want to load. This will make your PC faster. This can also be done with CC Cleaner if you haven't done so already.

Yes! in most cases, you may run into device driver issues that are not compatable with your current hardware, but the newer the computer the less likely you will run into trouble.

Hello,

To narrow down the problem try turning off and on your monitor a few times or try another monitor, if the issues persist your video card is probably the issue, while it can be something else as well based on what you have told us so far it sounds like it.

I have a Packard Bell motherboard MS-7301 VER:1.0 The computer does not boot up. The computer is about 4 years old model type UTOW - CUB SERIAL # 049924520227 Any solutions?

The sound card, try reinstalling the sound card only .. if the problem persists get a new one (Sound card) for yourself ...

Fame !

check the front for a panel that lifts up

Many Packard-Bell systems use a Crystal sound card.
If you can read the number from the sound card (usually CSXXXX), you can pick the exact driver from this site:
