I know this is not about manga/anime.. but I got a serious pc problem and dont know where else to ask help from.

I have a problem with my Pentium 4, AuthenthicAMD, AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+, 256 RAM.

Whenever I used the sound card, my PC would hang hard forcing a reset or power off. I was able to easily reproduce the hang by playing MP3s and either locking the screen or by simply doubling the size of my XMMS window, obviously causing a fair amount of video updating. I also noticed that switching desktops in Enlightenment seemed to force the hang. It also locked up last night when I was not using the sound card at all (modules unloaded and commented out of conf.modules).

My pc will go hang if I play game or running DivX or even, sometimes, visiting websites like nba.com

When I check my Device Manager, I found out that my PCI Communication Device has a Excalamation Mark on it. It says Code 28 is not installed. How do I install this?

Please help me. Thanks in advance!

to install the driver for the sound card you need the cd that came with your sound card there should be an installation disc. if you have any other problems e-mail me

or you look for the drive in the internet. just take out the card and read the company information. look in google.com and i'm sure you'll find the right drive

Did you ever check to see if your sound card is compatible with your CPU? Sometimes, especially when the CPU and media drives are from different licensers, their databases will differ enough so that they wont recognize one another. I think the database code for Pentium IV is F1D094, but don't quote me on that.
