I just installed a SB Audigy 2 Platinum into my computer and now after a few hours it turns itself off and goes into a rebooting loop. If I turn it off for 5 minutes, it will play into windows and be fine for anywhere between 20 minutes to 6 hours, but will randomly turn off. I have a 2 slot graphics card and the sugo only has 1 more pci slot directly next to it that is usable. Is it possible the gfx card is overheating the sound card?

Reinstalled new drivers, PC was ok for a while then 3 blue screens, first one;
1) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL CODE : 0X000000D1
2) It restarted after the first screen, and came up ACPI_DRIVER_INTERNAL CODE : 0X000000A3
3) It restarted again with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL CODE 0X000000A

Creative aren't as bad as Belkin when it came to Windows 7 drivers, ecspecially 64bit. My mate has wireless speakers and they refused to work on Win7.

did u just buy the soundcard? maybe you can send itback RMA it?
another option would be to get a external sound card which connects via usb they work rather well
"rather well" yes but they have nothing on internal sound cards

It's the drivers buddy. I was trying to reuse an old audigy soundcard on Windows 7. I had no end of hassle with BSODs, was a while before i narrowed it down to the soundcard. Ended up sticking with the onboard audio....pity as when it did work the audigy still sounded much better
