Motherboard PCI / Soundcard Issues :(

Ok, I was wondering if some of you Whizzes out there could help me out of my problem

You see, I recently got a new motherboard and processor (P5N32-E SLI Motherboard and a Core 2 Duo E6600 Processor).

My motherboard however, doesn't come with standard onboard sound, but instead a soundcard included with it. My problem is that when the soundcard is installed, it takes about 10mins for my PC to boot up. A technition took a look at it and the only way he could solve it was by uninstalling my motherboards nVidia PCI Controller Drivers.

Now everytime I boot into windows it keeps telling me "Found New hardware" and I tick the block saying don't prompt me again, but it keeps doing it.
Other than that my machine run perfectly.

Can anyone help me with this situation either with having the Drivers installed and not having a 10min boot period, or any other method as I've had no luck with it so far..
Thanx

I think its just a compatibility issue cause the sound card comes with the motherboard meaning its designed for it so drivers shouldn't be the issue, more likely to be another part in your PC giving you troubles.

First time I'm hearing of a seperate soundcard included with motherboard. Is this really the case? Odd if true.

Probably IRQ/resource conflict of some kind. Tweak the BIOS's PCI settings a bit. See if something there sorts the problem. I'd look at the AGP/PCI/e settings for good measure.
