DVI is the digital display standard for computer displays, so it is indeed a monitor cable.

When the arrow disappears, you should be good to go!

Why mini motherboard speaker has 4 pins although there are just 2 wires goes up to the buzzer?
This is actually a good question. However, what you see is actually a piezo speaker, not a buzzer. While speakers only require two wires, most motherboards have four pins where the speaker header plugs. Usually, the extra wires are an extra ground and perhaps 4.5 volts, if not 12 volts. It is possible that the extra pins were intended for the front panel lights.
Or, it is possible that manufacturers once left open the possibility of adding an audio amplifier. You have everything you need there for an amplifier. You have positive and negative signal wires as well as positive and negative direct current.
What can be a separate card and built into a motherboard?

Why might it be impossible to recover lost data?
Generally when a file is deleted, the file system makes no effort to erase the actual data from where it is physically stored on the disk. The file system deletes files by simply breaking the file name.
In windows and DOS, the delete command simply replaces the first letter of the filename with a question mark. This indicates to the file system that the file is no longer needed and any space it occupies can now be treated as blank space, even though it isn't.
To recover the lost file, assuming no new files have been written to that space, all one needs to do is restore the file name. This can be done manually, but it is far simpler (and generally more effective) to use a file recovery utility.
If it is desired to permanently delete the data such that it cannot be recovered, the data must be over-written, preferably many times over.
Why your computer shutting down on its own?
if your computer runs for a while then shuts down, this is often a lack of power to the system. Try removing anything you can live without (modem card if you use ethernet, soundcard, extra fans) and see if will work then. Most likely this won't work but its worth a shot as the only other alternative if it is a lack of power, is to buy a new PSU will will run you around $100-$200 and is the most difficult piece to install in a computer.
Also you can use a tool to diagnose whether it is a software problem, try ErrorFix. http://www.make-pc-faster.com/
