1) download and reinstall the driver from the manufacturer website
2) if this fails try to test memory, it maybe the problem
3) maybe it´s just a concidence and you have a hardware problem (power supply or motherboard problem)

good luck because you´re going to need

Have you checked so that it is the right drivers for the right card/mobo?
Even if it says labeled on your PC that it has a specific Soundcard it may not actually be that one. Check inside the pc if it is labeled with any numbers, or names.
Double check if you have downloaded/installed a driver for Windows XP as some may only work for Vista and newer.
If the driver is on a CD/DVD is it scratched?

Please try and provide as much information as possible, It will help alot!
Please post the name of the card and which drivers you're trying to install.

I wish you luck! //Shadow

Hello gelapir

This happened with me once because of installing from a driver pack which didn't install the driver completely.

First of all, you need to start your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 just before the screen of Windows XP - Just after the POST screen in which the computer reads your hardware.

When your computer starts in safe mode, go to Device manager and uninstall the current sound driver and restart.

Now your computer won't shutdown after startup.
Please, download the appropriate sound driver from your motherboard site and install it.

If this is the motherboard you mentioned before (ASUS P5PL2), I think this is the sound driver for it:

From its support page on ASUS website:

Good luck
