Had this issue about a month or so ago with a customers computer! It would just reboot for no apparent reason. Some times just surfing the web, boom, reboot! It was an MSI mobo, and I downloaded the latest drivers from MSI, and it would still do the reboot

Went to Realtec, got the latest drivers, and it hasn't rebooted since, well at least that I know of LOL! The customer hasn't called to complain

Personally I would just grab the AC'97 audio drivers! It comes with the player and everything.

I don't need a player!
I just want to hear stuff.

Looks like your board uses ALC889A audio. (I don't know what that is, just the specs.)

[Tyreal]

Ok... Latest realtek drivers installed. Lets see.

So it still reboots. Though I know I am using the latest version. I just reinstalled the drivers. If it still resets I'll run a couple passes of memtest86+.
