    Exclamation This thing is halfway out my window, please read:

    Ok, heres my setup:

    MSI KT266a Pro2-RU mobo with latest bios
    Audigy Platinum IDE
    Windows XP
    Pioneer 16x DVD Secpndary Master IDE
    QUE 2400BPS CDRW (24x10x) Primary Master IDE
    LiteON 40x10x48 Alternate Primary Master IDE
    Visiontek Gf3Ti500 AGP
    Pinnacle TvStudio Pro PCI
    2x256 KingMax PC3000 DDR
    2xIntel 1000T Gigabit Ethernet PCI
    2xMaxtor7200rpm 60gb on an onboard Promise Lt Raid
    Logitech Z-560 4.1's
    Intellimouse Explorer
    Internet Keyboard Pro

    I have adequate cooling and its all powered by an Enermax 431W power supply.

    Heres what Im finding with the latest drivers installed for each peripherial:

    My sound pops and crackles when I move files around on my RAID drives.

    My LiteON (when Installed) drops clear out of my system while in use and leaves errors in the event log such as device appeared/dissapeared without warning.

    My Que drive however, works great, no errors at all.

    My Pioneer DVD has just begun giving me similar errors but relating to bad blocks and paging opperations.

    Memory tests fine, as does the 1800XP i have not overclocked.
    My bus is set correctly and not tweaked for overclocking.

    I am very frustrated now because I am trying to install an MSDN cd from january and it locks up 'My Computer' and when I exit the installer it creates pops and scratches through my speakers.

    What can I try here?
    Please help!!!

    Yah, I have, but how do I troubleshoot the sound issue without the soundcard...i dont have another laying around. :/ The power supply has constant rails and everything is fine at the moment (via Mobo monitor), any other ideas?

    sorry i am not much help. but the only thing I can think of is to try the card in a different pci slot. and also to try the onboard sound card if you have it on the mainboard to see if you still get the noises.

    I ran accross something simmular when I upgraded my mainboard and I had to replace the sound card.

    Have you been to <a href="http://www.viaarena.com" target="_blank">www.viaarena.com</a> and checked out their faqs and patches and downloaded the latest via 4 in 1 drivers?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    ????
