Sound Blaster Z not detected - SOLVED

[lenar14]

In during of gaming my screen went black and I've seen the message says that my cable from monitor is not connected. I've restarted my pc and I shortly found that my Sound Blaster Z doesn't work. It just been no longer recognizable througt device manager. I found the solution and I want to share with you how to fix it. You can try to connect card to another PCI slot but before you do it Try to go to the BIOS and Disable function Fast Boot. I know, that's weird but helped to solve my problem without opening PC case or trying to reinstall drivers.
