SB Live! 24bit reboots computer
Hi!
I have this SB Live! 24-bit sound card which proved to be the reason my computer the last three weeks experienced seemingly unmotivated reboots. After yanking out the aforementioned card, system stabilized it self. A search on the net confirmed a statement from a newsgroup member stating that there is a problem with SB cards. After the removal of the sound card I restarted the computer and had to install a generic media controller when I reactivated the onboard soundchip in the BIOS. Since then my computer has not been turned off, and are playing WinAmp all night long without crashing. Is this a familiar problem well-known among experts, and if so are there a fix? -- Regards Zadig Galbaras A Perturbed Norwegian Agnostic ----- |

What O/S? also puling out and changing cards is not as simple as PnP would have us believe :/ -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html |

The perpetrator was the memory.
I lowered the speed of the memory in BIOS and all my trial and tribulations disappeared The soundcard is remounted and reinstalled and is working fine. -- Regards Zadig Galbaras A Perturbed Norwegian Agnostic ----- "Zadig Galbaras" skrev i melding ...
