Anyone got any input?

Im perfectly willing to accept that it could be my motherboard. I would be soooo happy if that was it. but I dun think so. Posted from Anandtech.com App for Android

So I'm just trying to convince the wife to allow me to spend some of our tax return on a new PSU. Lets see how it pans out! I'm looking now at a CORSAIR HX1050. On sale at FRYs for $159, and seems to be well reviewed. I know HX1050 is a bit overkill, but the CORSAIR HX850 is the same...

So it froze again today. It was running fine for 4 days with no crashes or freezes, but then I turned it off last night. This morning I turned it on, went to make coffee and came back to see my system frozen on the desktop. I force restarted, and verified that the conflicting sound device was...

I will check more specifically the location that the devices are trying to access when I get home. At work at the moment.

I didn't check specifically for the Location. But I did see that there are 2 sets of audio drivers in there. Realtek HD Audio and NVIDIA HD Audio. I disabled all the NVIDIA HD Audio devices and the issue still occured. I then disabled the Realtek HD Audio and enabled all of the NVIDIA HD...

The issue began happening before I flashed the BIOS. I flashed it because I saw several update logs on the BIOS which said 'Improves system stability'. Man I sure do wish that worked.
