Hi,
Whenever I insert a Creative SoundBlaster Vibra 16 PCI into my Soltek Sl75 KAV kt133a motherboard, it causes hardware conflicts between my graphics card (GeForce 2 Ti) and network card (Intel 8255 - PCI). The PC begins fine, but just as windows begins to load it freezes. I can get into safe mode, but just shows the conflicts, but there is nothing to do which can resolve it.
I have tried placing the sound card in different PCI slots and moving the network card around to no avail. I cannot update the sound card drivers as I cannot get into Windows. I have also tried underclocking the cpu and fsb (it is overclocked at present). I've made sure the onboard sound (AC97) is disabled in Windows and in the bios. I have been in contact with Creative, but they have failed to respond with a suitable reply.
Is there a known work-around with this motheboard and sound card or anything I can do to resolve it?
Thanks in advance
James
