Yesterday, Firefox stopped responding so I tried killing the program but that didn't work so I rebooted my PC. After I rebooted, I got the network cable unplugged error, so I looked at the back of my PC and noticed the lights near the Ethernet ports were off. I tried checking the BIOS to make sure the ports are enabled, tried using winsockxpfix, and messed around with network settings until I read someone that some guy fixed the exact same problem by turning off his PC, unplugging the power cable from the power supply, then plugging it back in and booting it up. I tried that, and surprisingly, it worked and I was able to get back on the internet.
Thinking everything was well, I started up some music but I got no sound. I checked sounds and audio devices in control panel and it said no audio device even though it's integrated with my mobo. I download audio drivers and install them, and the sound started to work, but when I reboot it stops working. In addition to the no audio, now I get "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close" every time I start my computer. When it closes, it turns my theme to windows classic and my PC becomes really slow for a bit.
