Hi all,

I have just purchased a ASUS DGX PCIE 5.1 audio card for my desktop. However when i install the card, the computer gets stuck in a boot loop! As far as i can see the card is compatible with my Motherboard and windows 7.

The comp works fine when I remove it, so i know the issue is definitely with the audio card. I have tried a duplicate of the same card so can also rule out that its a faulty device.

My specs are:
GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H Motherboard
i5 Processor
2x Samsung 830 SSD
ASUS HD7770 Graphics card
8GB Ballistix RAM

Anyone know any reason why this is happening and what i can do to solve it? Any help will be appreciated

I have a peavey Xport USB guitar adapter that doesn't seem to work well with my onboard audio. Wanted a cheap solution to get it working.

I just got the exact sound card with pretty similar specs as you and have the exact problem. The sound card causes the computer to just get stuck at the "Windows is starting" screen with the windows logo

Would appreciate any help
