Sound card issue

[Ty07allstar]

I just got the X-Plosion card and after i installed the drivers and everything i restarted. Then when i would get to my desktop it would restart for no reason. Also if it didn't restart it would lock up and freeze. I took out the card and everything is fine. What should i do? I tried the latest software and drivers.

if you are overclocked make sure your pci bus is locked to 33mhz.

alos, do you have any other pci cards?

also make sure you turn off your onboard sound

Ok. Ill check the pci thing and how do i turn off the onboard sound? I do have a wireless internet in the other pci slot.

EDIT: I just checked the bios and the pci sychronization mode is auto. If i select manual i can put it to 33.33. Also there was another pci thing in the bios and it was at 100mhz. I have no clue what it was though. None said pci bus.

PCI Sync should be 33mhz

PCI-E should be at 100mhz

Try again after setting those.

Ok. Also would haveing a wireless internet card using the other pci slot effect anything?

Shouldnt do, but it might be worth swapping both the cards around.

I got it fixed. It was the F****** PCI slot.

Does the wireless card work in it? Sometimes certain cards don't work in certain PCI slots (depends on if they are sharing IRQ's with anything).

Idk. All that i did was move the card to the slot closest to the bottom of the case and didnt move the wireless card. My internet is obviously working so im not gonna touch anything else.

Probably an IRQ issue. I had a similar problem when I installed my Audigy; I noticed that in that slot it shared IRQs with the GeForce, but moving it to the other slot fixed the problem.

Sounds like an IRQ issues, sometimes I miss the good old days of being able to assign IRQ addresses manually. This new-fangled plug and play can be finnicky at times.
