Help me out with this guys, heres the deal, i installed Win XP home on a Gigabyte GA-7dxr+ three days ago, everything went well.
i used the on board sound for two days untill today when i went out and buy a Sound Blaster Audigy. Next i went into BIOS
disabled onboard sound, installed Audigy in PCI slot 3, no boot, tryed again no boot just hangs after bios check.
So i took it out and put it in slot 4, booted, i installed drivers & software, rebooted, no post just hangs, tryed over ond over same thing
I tooked it out and tryed another PCI slot, same thing, i tryed all the pci slots. Now when i take the sound card out of the PC, it boots,
Put it back in, nothing would not boot.
Heres the other specs of the comp
Antec 300w power supply, model # pp-303xp
samsung dvd
Yamaha 24x10x40 (which i also bought today)
WD 80 gig HD
256 mb 2100 memory (samsung)
and there is only one other PCI card in the comp and thats a USR 56k modem
ohh, i forgot this part, if i put a different sound card in any pci slot it boots.
Please guys what is wrong here, i'm on this for the last 5 hours and its saturday night.
So help a guy that wants to go out to a party tonight. Thanks
Edit: I also forgot to mention that i did a reinstall of OS about an hour ago and when the installation went to reboot it hanged, i then took the sound card out hit the reset button and the installation continued.
After OS installation completed i put the sound card in, No $%#@ boot.
