computer crashes/restarts
ok, so earlier tonight i couldnt get my cpu to start i was like wtf reset bios etc etc. narrowed it down to my sound card possibly?, i pulled out the old SB audigy 2 and the computer boots just fine,using onboard i can play music just fine on my desktop as soon as i load a game such as WoW, computer will restart and load into windows no problem. is this all sound card related? im going to try to run into town tomorrow and see if theres any in stock. any other idea in the mean time?

I would say no... sounds like it could be something else... you eliminated the card and it did the same thing... pull memory, switch video card or psu if possible and see, check drivers... etc.

i found a really old/cheap card like $20, i plugged into my pci and computer detected new hardware, also it said windows recovered from a critical error? i asked around alittle some one suggested maybe a corrupt sector in windows and possible reformat?
