i don't know where to find the drivers i need, and don't know which ones are from
my motherboard or from other hardware, or how to manually install them, my mobo is
asus sk8n.....have swapped the ram around, and it does the same thing.....this computer
was found in the trash, it had a disk read error, so i put in another hard drive,
and re-installed windows xp, the sound used to work before, don't now....please bear
with me, thanks
