Try using VLC as your player. Go to www.google.com and in the search box type "download vlc" (without the quotes). Look for the Video Lan download from site www.videolan.org/vlc Download and install it. It downloads and installs in 3 minutes or so. It's a very fast player, smooth and it can play just about any type of dvd formats and media. It's totally FREE. Also if this is a desktop, you can always purchase a pci sound card that goes into one of the available pci slots for less than $15.
Test your PSU or replace it

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA and
