Sound Card Wierd Problem

tjw730 · 11-12-2006, 12:33 AM

Ok, so I accidently destryoed my AC'97 onboard soundcard, so I have disbaled it at BIOS

I have purchased a new soundcard...CMI18738/PCI-6ch-LX

When I first plug it in to a PCI slot and start windows it is detected then runs and it works a charm...but if I reboot, windiws won't start just a black screen and I have to either unplug the card and put it in a new slot or disable it in safe mode and go without (can start in safe mode)

Anyone out there that can help???

Thanks
-Tim

Just some extra info, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the card and I have uninstalled the old card aswell, and there is no traces of the old card running...

Hope someone can help!

it is a slow process but
in msconfig startup untick the boxes,reboot reticking one at a time until you isolate the problem one
then reinstall the offending program,if it is sound or video disable a/virus whilst you do the install and then reboot

Boxes in which section?
System.ini
Win.ini
boot.ini
services
or startup?
