    C-Media audio card makes windows restart on shutdown


    Hi, let me make a list.

    1) Bought a new C-Media 5.1 audio card.

    2) Inserts into PCI-slot makes computer auto-start.

    3) Windows does not auto install the card, but the drives on the CD works perfectly and the sound is fine. No problems in device manage.

    4) But when I shutdown, the computer restats. Happens every time. Have to shutdown manually on the button.

    5) Tried a different PCI-slot, but problem persists.

    6) Tried temporarily removing the card and windows shuts down as intended.

    Solution?

    How long ago was the purchase ? Can you return it and try another brand ?

    See if there is a different driver available from the C-Media site?
