SB Audigy 2 ZS

So when I install the card...and start up the comp...it doesn't boot because suddenly it can't detect the hard drives...

When the card isn't it, I have no problems. Any ideas? Is this a power issue or some sort of hardware compatibility problem?

You have alot of high wattage parts and this may be a longshot but maybe your PSU? If not try a different PCI slot.

Is it not detecting the hard drives while booting or when you go into the BIOS setup does it not detect the hard drives?

 

[JoJoFine]

more than likely the psu considering all you've got there

Sounds like an IRQ conflict. Try installing the soundcard into a different PCI slot.
