Not sure this is the right place to ask this question but since the heart is a new motherboard it may well be. We installed a new motherboard in a friends puter. Everyhing went fairly well, as well as can be expected for first time and cluge parts, Now the system is up running win2kSP4 all driver seem to be doing fine except the sound card. The drivers I downloaded from the packard bell update site and don't thing they are the problem. I tried to run everest to verify things and it locked up while reading pci data. Same for aida and the install on the drivers. I am not sure where to start on this at this point so looking for guidance. The motherboard I believe is the athelon x71. Recommendations?
