Stock it all out ..... everything and run XMP profile for stix

Terminate all Creative cancer from system and remove all traces in regedit

Like it never happened ..........

Roll with onboard until you get a viable sound card .........

Revert to last known vid drivers that did not demonstrate this behavior

How badly was this card pounded with vcore ???

could be the card itself

last ditch new OS, could be a bug ???

good luck bro ...
