Spanner-in-the-works!
Just gonna give Acer an earfull, somebody from there e-mailed me earleir saying he could try and book it in for free again but had no reply so just gonna ring em monday.
Read my mind, was my next question. So can I just add a new sound card, disable the onboard one and rock n roll? will have to find one to borrow, already had a look and should be good for 30quid.. lets hope its that anyway!
Cheers, whilst I'm there should I consider turning of caching and shadowing as recomended by the blue screen of death or will that cause problems/slow speeds etc?
yup thats the sittu and bloody Acer replaced the HDD twice, guessing they were kind of usless and have missed something, dodgy ram? sorry onboard sound? what like speakers in my screen etc?
Its just come back formatted, I've run all windows updates, updated the Nvidia Graphics drivers and upgraded the AC Audio drivers, which I guess are now causing the problem, I can't roll the drivers back as the old ones were causing it to crash as well
Each time Counter Strike crashes apart...
The RealTek site doesn't seem to offer an alternative, so that leaves me kind of in trouble? CAn I use somebody elses drivers, I'm guessing not! Cheers for the links Mole, afraid that test programme won't work with SP2 though..
The Sound Manager is telling me that AC97 Audio Configuration is as follows (not sure if this is of any help but erm lol)
Audio Driver Version:
5.10.0.5940
AC97 Codec:
ALC655
Cheers for the links, heres my dilemma now!
When I first got the PC I got this crash message
So I found the file in the end, realtek site wasn't working! And now I'm left with the Uknown Device Driver issues, so if I roll back to the old drivers I'm going to go back to the original issues lol
My Pc has been forever plagued with Uknown Device Driver crashes, its been to Acer repair center 3 times and had the HDD replaced twice, sadly its out of warranty and I've just bought Half Life 2 and keeps crashing during Counter Strike Source, which I can't be having! So gotta sort it myself...
chris i think everyones in there one way or another but don't think I used any track footage i'm afraid..
Freebone, not sure if this'll work..
