I was having some major CPU issues with my new GTX570 card, so I RMA'd the thing. now the new one is even worse. I tried it in my new system and in an old system, so I think it is a HW problem with the card. That is the good news. The bad news is that my new system now has no Sound?!!! WTF! Oh yeah, and I had an SSD die also...... Ok, so here are the specs. Intel i7 2600K ASUS P8Z68 Pro Mobo 120 GB SSD as Primary Drive running on SATA 3 at 6.0 Gbps (COD4 loaded on this drive also) 90 GB secondary SSD (only SATA 2) 1 TB WD Caviar Black 64 MB Cache SATA 3 HDD 16 GB G-Skill Ripjaws RAM EVGA GeForce GTX570 Superclocked Video Card I am using the OnBoard Sound. OK, so I was messing with the Graphics Card because it kept crashing. Then out of nowhere, my SSD that I kept my gaming programs on died. I hooked it up to a USB to SATA cable, but cannot even access it. I am going to RMA it since it is under warranty. I put my old GTX260 card in and I can get graphics now, but my sound is still gone. I even pulled out both cards and am using the onboard video, but no sound. The driver is loaded and is up to date. I was thinking maybe the MoBo was bad, since I am having problems with different components, but I don't think that is the issue, because I can still boot and use programs. I have no problem surfing the net. My main prob is that the GTX570 and now the Sound don't work. I just did a system restore, but that didn't help. What am I overlooking???? Any help would be appreciated!! Edited March 25, 2012 by PigDog Awards

Maybe its that you need to check or change your drivers for sound. I know when I did that it helped a lot. Also Pig double and triple check all your wire connection points! I had a video card stopped working and it appeared it was all connected but after double checking them I found a bad connection which a member sent me the wire to fix it and now except for no electricity it runs great! Lol! Hope this helps! Awards

How can I check it to see if it has an issue - short of putting in a new one? Hey, Budman! That was your 1,000th post Buddy! Welcome to Whoredom! I actually updated the MoBo within the past 3 months, I think, so that should be ok, shouldn't it ??? Or should I try that too? Awards
