Hello kol,

Does the computer blue screen?
Did you install any new hardware or software?
Are there any errors in the system/application logs?

To view log files click start > control panel > administrative tools > event viewer. Look under system log and application log for items with red crosses.

The system errors seem to be to do with your sound card drivers.
Try updating your sound card drivers and your motherboard chipset drivers from the Elite Group website.

Remember to uninstall the existing drivers before installing the new ones.

I've just had a look on the Elite Group site and I think we'll skip downloading drivers from them as they are out of date. We'll go to the SIS website instead.

Go here > http://www.sis.com/s...port_prodid.htm and run the product id utility. It will help identify what motherboard chipset you have and what integrated sound card you have.
Paste the information in your next post.

To update your sound card drivers, go to here > click Windows XP in the left pane > click audo driver in the middle pane > click SIS 7012 in the right pane > click ok and then follow the rest of the instructions.
Once you've download the drivers, go into add/remove programs, remove your existing sound drivers, restart the PC and then install the new ones.

The motherboard chipset drivers are basically the same but choose IDE driver instead of audio driver.
