Where is my sound and emoticons?

I have a brand new computer, so its not the computer. I had problems with IM earlier this week and removed it from my computer and then reloaded it. I am currently using version 7.0 with Voice. I do not have sound, AT ALL. No IM warning, just the orange box at the bottom of the screen…NOTHING. My emoticons do not work and yes, the box is clicked. I have searched through HELP, with no help. I hate not having any sound. My husband is in Iraq and we use this as a means of communications, and I depend upon the IM Notification to let me know if he is on if I am not in the room. I don’t even get a notice when someone signs on or off. My Connection Pref’s also get messed up. Stating that I have DialUp and that I live in Canada. I have DSL and live in the USA! And sometimes, I cannot change it because the option isnt there. Virus scans have been done and the system is clean, no spyware either. I need help. Please?

What type of computer should I get?

I would like the specs of what brand, processor, RAM, etc. of the computer I should buy. I’m going to store a large media collection on it and do some light gaming too. I’m also going to be on the internet through dialup. 10 points for best answer.
oh yeah – I would like it to be Windows Vista capable and less than $600 US

Spontaneous Computer Restarting – Two Questions.?

I have a brand new computer with Windows XP. When I am not on the internet, I unplug the phone line from the back of the computer (Yes, I am stuck in the 90s with dialup). I am extremely careful about the virus software and the window’s updates – I always do them dutifully when prompted. I use the computer as an alarm clock, so it is on all night, but I turn it off during the day while I am at work.

Question #1 – Last night, in the middle of the night, I heard the computer shut down and then the startup music… so I am assuming that it spontaneously restarted. I know of no updates that needed installing. What would cause this to occur?

Question #2 – Occasionally, there is a buzzing or loud humming type noise which pulses slightly coming from the tower. This occurs even when the computer is idling, and happens about once every 2 or 3 minutes and lasts for about 15 seconds.

Thanks for your help!! :)
