Starting over works for 5 minutes. Then I have a repeat of failure--protect flashing and no sound. Any help would be appreciated.
SOURCE: disk boot failure
After making 100% sure you have no diskette or CD in any drives the conclusion may well be that the disk is ruined. You ay try to boot from a diskette or CD and see if you can access the disk then. (see www.ultimatebootcd.com for instructions to make a boot CD) "The ultimate boot CD" has a few tools that might help you out. Since you can't boot you must make it on a different computer, though. You may also try to insert the disk in a diffe rent computer to see if it can be booted there. Also make sure all cables are properly connected.

sounds like a hard disk drive problem. If you are comfortable with working inside your computer, you can open the case and remove the cables to the hard disk, and re-connect them again firmly.

Hi Yoni,
The most likely reson why you still don't have sound is you were not able to install the sound card driver properly. I suggest you goto CONTROL PANEL then click on ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS then uninstall all the software/drivers related to your sound card, afterwards restart the computer. Then try reinstalling the sound driver again using the correct Sound Card driver disc. It should work.
Of course downloading the latest drivers for your sound card is always a very goof advise. Check your computer manual or your computer's specifications to know what sound card you actually have in the system. Even calling for techsupport if you bought this from a manufacturer is even better. If you have the information. Goto your computer manufaturers website and get. Otherwise you can download it from the soundcard manufacturer's website directly. Make sure to download the correct driver, since it's not going to fix your problem if you get the wrong one and it may cause problems.
I also suggest that you check if your sound card is still detected by the PC and if it's showing up. You can do this by going to right-click on MY COMPUTER, select PROPERTIES then goto the HARDWARE tab then select the button for DEVICE MANGER. Check if there is any "?" question mark symbol or "!" exclamation mark symbol. Most likely that is your sound card. If there is a red "X" then the device is disabled, you can right-click on it thn select ENABLE to mak it run again. If there is not an item with any of those symbol, you can check SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS category and see if your soundcard is listed there.
For most systems there is an option in the BIOS to disable the soundcard (especially if its integrated!) check the BIOS to see if the soundcard was disabled there. Check the manual of your computer or motherboard to see how you can get into it.
Finally, I also suggest running your computer's diagnostics, if it has one. This gives you a better picture if the problem is hardware (sound card itself) or software (drivers).
Hop these suggestions help!
Peace! :)
SOURCE: dvd turns off after displaying ''protection''
protection error message means that your unit's fan is not working
it is a feature to keep your unit from overheating
check if there is anything blocking the fan of your unit from rotation or replace the fan
SOURCE: During cooking, the microwave will work for about
sounds like the cooling fan has came adrift or stopped working , this will cause the magnatron ( the microwave generator ) to overheat tripping the over temperature stat ,so fix the cooling , but be sooooooooooooo carefull in there , microwaves + really high voltages , not really a job for a non electrician/microwave tech
As soon as the unit is turned on, the word "PROTECTION" will flash on the front panel of the unit and SHUT OFF. This error message usually indicates that the fan in the back of the unit is not on.41 views
