what did the crash say?
 
.....well the crash was memory dumps or something......the blue screen came on.........then my memory card got damaged....had to replace it wid a new one....:/
 
blue screen suggests some kind of hardware failure. What do you mean 'memory card'? Hard drive (where stuff is saved)? And now the game doesn't work with the new hard drive?

Hey man,sorry for wasting your time though PM!
Here's the problem:
My speakers do not work properly!When i plug them in,a message appears on the bottom right coner of my pc which says "connected" after 3-4 secs a similar message appears saying "not connected"
As a result i am unable to have sound on youtube videos,unable to listen to music on my pc!
Any thoughts on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Have a look on your PC manufacturer's page online (here is Dell's page: Drivers & Downloads) and update your Audio driver, that might help

Have you tried other speakers?
 
I have tried 3 different sets of speakers!
Btw,thank you for your answere,i will try that!

I presume all 3 sets of speakers you have tried work fine on other computers?

Exactly!I have tried all 3 to my friends desktop and they are fine!
Actually i just run "MicrosoftFixitAudioPlayback.exe" and it says that the sound device(in greek,i do not know how it is in english)
is not connected!
 
Vist,UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you click start and then go to control panel and then Hardware and sound and then click sound does it say there are speakers there?

No,it says there are not!
Also there is an option which is greyed out!It is a button that says "set a default device".Maybe that helps you a little
