    @ Aphelion,

    You need to understand how he got here.... BSOD when browsing the web
    Ah... ok, thanks for that.

    I was just looking at the Device manager he posted.

    Regardless of anything else... it looks like the nVidia nForce driver package installed the nVidia audio drivers... this used to be a known problem with nVidia driver packages, it will stop all audio from working, (the MB has a Realtek audio chip)

    And if he does have integrated video and not using it, shouldn't it be disabled in the BIOS.

    I have a question: do you want me to uninstall all of my graphics drivers? Including the sound (yes I know it's not graphics)?

    Will I still be able to see the screen if I do that?

    Someone had mentioned that, I think the system will install it's own basic drivers.

    I was talking up about uninstalling all of the nvidia stuff under sound.
    Or installing everything under sound and let Windows find the audio device after a reboot.

    I would take a look under control panel/Programs & Features and see if there's any other audio drivers installed besides the Realtek or Microsoft HD.

    Smurof7neves found that his sound problem was caused by a Windows update.
    Sorry, Carl. Apparently it was some "critical update" that Windows made to my system, because after I restored the computer to before that, the sound worked again.

    On that note, I'm still getting the bluescreens. I have been unsuccessful in updating my graphics software.

    We are still working on the cause of the BSOD's.

    Thanks-

    I had thought audio stopped again.

    Good luck on the BSOD's.

    Sorry guys, I meant sound drivers earlier not graphics drivers. This cold medicine that I am on is doing strange things to my mind!
