New computer - PC Specialist?

oops ... I need to retire

So sorry, my fault ... that's on-board sound, so it will be the motherboard drivers you'll need.

Try these ... most of us never need to update the sound drivers ... also, Windows Update Site may provide drivers, use their Custom button when checking.

I have personally seen XP get 'confused' before and insist you have an Avance sound chip instead of the Realtec ... I believe, just to add to the confusion, that Realtec bought Avance out and use their chips also.

Your 'error' is definitely associated with your sound drivers. It says so.

To be honest I didn't even register that you said sound card, and just went ahead and downloaded the drivers for the onboard sound. The version I DLed was 5.10.0.6030 but the link that you gave me has 5.10.0.5900 as the latest. I am DLing this version now to replace 6030, but to be honest, 5900 was the version I was already using anyway so I can't see that it would fix it. When you say I need to upgrade my motherboard drivers, do you mean something other than the audio? I have to say that I am more than a little bit lost as to what to try next!

Hi hi again


I just wanted to let you all know that my computer seems to be running problem free. In the end I completely uninstalled all audio drivers, rebooted, went to windows update, and there was a driver specifically designed to make things work between an nvidia card and the asus motherboard, so no annoying reboots anymore!

I especially wanted to thank floppybootstamp and muckshifter, you two were a huge help. Thanks! That goes to everyone else who had suggestions too.

PC Specialist provided a good machine at a good price in my opinion, though they could have been a little speedier on getting the machine to me.

Good news Charlotte, glad all worked out well in the end

(and I may have to revise my views on those MS hardware drivers eh? )

I always go to WUS first ... don't always use the drivers though.



Charlotte,

Thanks for letting us know.
