Then way around this is to Go into safe mode and uninstall the sound and anything to do with sound then turn off in the bios setup anything you don't use, such as serial ports, irda, etc and then try a reinstall of the sound card.

If that doesn't work, turn off more stuff - even stuff you use until you get the sound going, then add each thing you need back one at a time.

You should also check for any bios/firmware updates for the laptop that you may have missed installing earlier... especially those that deal with power management and/or acpi.
Thanks for that NooNoo - will give it a go and see what happens.
Regards, and thanks again
