I made sure I did an image back up of my computer so if anything gets messed up I cam recover my system. From what you detailed about your system crash, it doesn't look good.

I have to look into that. So far I have installed Window 10 three times and rolled back to Windows 7 three times to try
different fixes. I can only watch TV on this Computer through the HDM!...

No not in Windows 10, Still no sound from the monitor speakers in Game Mode(TV)

I used the Device manager to uninstall/update he IDT High Definition Audio CODEC.

On of the fixes was to uninstall the codex driver then update it. I tried that but still no sound. So I rolled back to
windows 7 and when there I got no sound at all from PC Mode or Game Mode(TV)....

I I reciently upraded to window 10. I no longer hace sound in the game mode of the monitor. I have my verizon
FIOS TV plugged into the HDMI port of the monitor so I can watch TV and switch back...
