First of all, thanks to all that chipped in their 2 cents worth involving the automatic rebooting problem. I still haven't figured out what the problem is, or where it's coming from, but from the responses, I now know a little more.

Now, on another subject, sound cards. My sound card is on-board my motherboard and so I was wondering, if/when I purchase a new soundcard, will I need to figure out a way to bypass the on-board one, or will it automatically read the new one?

I'm not too knowledgable on the whole BIOS issue. My friends have instructed me to go into the BIOS and disable the sound there. I'm a little timid about going into the BIOS, seeing how if I make a mistake, uh oh! So, if any of you have any more "change" (2 cents-for the ones that didn't get that) I would appreciate some help. I use Phoenix BIOS.

Thanks again..
