System bell character crashes computer
Alright, let me try this here becase as I expected Tech Support has no idea what is going on as usual.
I have an Inspiron 9300 which I own since August 2005. I have since reinstalled Windows XP and updated all my drivers with no luck on finding a solution to this problem.
The problem is when you print the system bell character (Ascii code 007) the compter emits a LOUD beep and shuts off. It does not shut off normally, it shuts off as if you had pulled the plug on a desktop. It crashes off.
Now, to reproduce this problem I made a simple C++ program to print the bell character. The "program" has nothing to do with my computer crashng since it has been doing it since I own it everytime the system beeps.
The only time the it does not shut off is when I am logged on in safe mode. My guess was a faulty driver, yet I have already updated all of them.
Any ideas anybody?
