i have a frustrating question to ask! omg! my pc memory dumps on me at least 3 times a day (twce in the last hour!!) ive been told its mostly likely my soundcard that isnt much liked... is there something i can tune to stop this from happening? the company who built the pc went into liquidation without prior warning and ive had nothing but problems with it since 1 of which is my nvidiaGEForce8800GT burning out and dying after only 10 months of use! if anyone has any advice that doesnt involve "buying a new soundcard" that would be much appreciated! |

Hi, If you think it's your soundcard and you don't want to be told to replace your soundcard, what exactly are you hoping to be told? For the most part, components are throwaways now, you don't repair them. If the card is incompatible, then nothing you do outside of replacing it is going to help. If it's damaged, it's not going to get better. You might try reseating it in its slot if it's an add-on card. If not, disable it in the system BIOS. If it is compatible with Vista, then you should be checking with the sound card manufacturer (not the system maker or microsoft) for the most recent driver release to support it. Have you had anyone analyze the memory dumps yet? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Miasue" <Miasue@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:844E9E7E-9AFB-445F-AFAB-7EC28729D4AC@microsoft.com... >i have a frustrating question to ask! omg! my pc memory dumps on me at >least > 3 times a day (twce in the last hour!!) ive been told its mostly likely my > soundcard that isnt much liked... is there something i can tune to stop > this > from happening? the company who built the pc went into liquidation without > prior warning and ive had nothing but problems with it since 1 of which is > my > nvidiaGEForce8800GT burning out and dying after only 10 months of use! if > anyone has any advice that doesnt involve "buying a new soundcard" that > would > be much appreciated! |

Take the card completely out and run with no sound for a couple of days and see if it helps. > is there something i can tune to stop this >from happening? the company who built the pc went into liquidation without >prior warning and ive had nothing but problems with it since 1 of which is my >nvidiaGEForce8800GT burning out and dying after only 10 months of use! if >anyone has any advice that doesnt involve "buying a new soundcard" that would >be much appreciated! |
