Sounds like the typical X-Fi problem- not detecting, sound not working. Is it crashing your machine also? Look on the Creative forums.

not crashing it anymore. Only when I click "dvd audio"

When it works its amazing, just annoying i have to reboot to make it work :x

Yup I'm using latest drivers (downloaded off site, seeemd to make it worse so using cd ones again with creative's autocearch driver update website tool)
Moved pci slot, no diff. Apart from its not bluescreening as much (it was in bottom slot)
