Hi, I have a creative sb live 5.1 and the problem is that it does not work anymore....winXP detects it but when i try to install the driver the computer hangs or restarts....(it used to restart without making any thing)
i've excluded the driver problem...and the compatibility problem....
the only thing that i can think now is that is a hardware problem...but i dont have any clue on what part it could be...
no conflicts no hardware problems ...
all started when i moved my computer to my other house...everything was ok before i moved it ....(for the record....i did not hit or drop the computer)

As with any fault finding, you need to break it down to find out where the problem lies - to do this you need to either try your sound card in another computer, or try another sound card (preferably an identical one) in your computer.
So far you seem to have very little reason for suspecting the sound card, apart from the computer works if you remove it - this could well be very misleading!.
