Crashing at startup unless I unplug USB keyboard OR Soundcard
Hi, hoping someone can help me out. I have a strange issue wherein after a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, I get a hard crash (looping sound, forced shut down) around the login screen.
If I unhook the USB keyboard OR the Soundblaster Audigy SE card, the crash doesn't occur.
I can load up in safe mode +network just fine (where the audio device is disabled by default I noticed, while the keyboard still works), but I've spent hours trying to find the solution.
I've seen that there are problems with driver compatibility with Audigy cards and Windows 7, and I've seen that there can be a conflict with my ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe mobo and USB ports, but haven't found a solution through either route.
I KNOW there's a solution since I was running just fine this morning before doing a clean install (had a virus issue), and I thought I had just let windows update drivers last install and everything worked fine for months.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
