Abit IT5 Series - Sound Card Driver Troubleshooting

Appendix F F-2
2
Example 2: With a system including the mainboard (with CPU, DRAM,
COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD, VGA CARD, LAN CARD,
MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, after assembly
and after having installed the Sound Card Driver, when you restart
the system, when it runs the Sound Card Driver, it resets
automatically. This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver.
During the Starting DOS… procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS)
key, to skip CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT; edit
CONFIG.SYS with a text editor, and in front on the line that loads
the Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the
Sound Card Driver. See the example below.
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE HIGHSCAN
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=36
REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can
be sure that the problem is due to the Sound Card Driver. Note
down the Sound Card model, mainboard model, BIOS
identification number on the technical support file (refer to main
instructions), and describe the problem in the space provided.
