Hi EAG1945, Thanks for the info which I have tried, my sound was enabled
on the bios (why I didn't notice before I don't know). It helped a bit
she isn't crashing as much but she could be better i'm thinking of
replacing the motherboard and the psu as that is only a 300w thinking
of a 600w the motherboard was only a make do but wasn't planning to
replace it just yet but if I get the new psu I may as well get the
motherboard aswell. Thanks for your help :)
