Ok, this is driving me a bit crazy now, anyone else seen anything like this?

Old system:

Asus A8n-sli premium
Athlon 3500+
2 Gig Ram
7800GT
Wireless PCI Card
Creative Audigy 2 zs


On Saturday I changed the 3500+ to an X2 4200+. And now the audigy will not work. The only thing I did was remove the Graphics card and PCI cards as I had to remove the motherboard to fit the chip. They were replaced in the same slots, everything exactly the same as before bar the new chip.

On boot up I now get no sound, in device manager I get a “Cannot Start (Code 10)” error. I’ve tried:

- Reinstalling drivers (a LOT)
- Cleaning all creative drivers and reinstalling
- Taking card out, booting up, then turning off, reinserting and booting (this was recommended on the creative forum)
- Changing PCI slots
- Removing Wireless card
- Removing wireless cards AND different PCI slots

Nothing seems to work, the only strange thing is that I have 2 1394 drives now on the system, and the (I assume) creative one is also showing a Code 10 error.

I don’t suppose anyone has seen anything like this? I didn’t know if it might be an issue over the X2 (though I can’t see how it could!). My last call is to try the card in a different machine to see if it works but I’m always careful over how I handle parts and I find it difficult to believe it’s gone wrong in the 20 minutes it took me to switch CPU’s!



PS It’s REALLY driving me crazy!
 
Tried that last night, both in device manager and in the bios, didn't make a difference. I've resigned myself to it being the card and ripped it out and switched to the onboard sound, I couldn't face any more time ******* about with it!

Will try and test it in a different machine just in case though.
