Man, I hate it when an issue pops up only to find out there was a dead simple fix... but yeah, I already tried reinstalling the motherboard drivers, updating the audio via Device Manager, and even doing a fresh install of Windows. In the end, I just went into the BIOS and disabled the Nvidia HD audio, and everything is working perfectly now. You guys can close this thread. 😵 🙂
Thanks anyway.👍
I just finished installing Windows on a brand-new build, but I hit a snag. As soon as I plugged in my GPU (GeForce 210), the system automatically switched the playback device to HDMI. Suddenly, I had no sound at all. I tried switching back to my speakers, but the only options showing up were four different HDMI outputs. Even after disabling all of them, the speakers still wouldn't show up. Now that I’ve finally installed the GPU drivers, I'm getting an error saying "no audio output devices are installed."
Do I need to pick up a new sound card, a new graphics card, or something else entirely?
Thanks! 🙂

When I boot the PC, it asks if I want to start normally or run a repair. If I choose to start normally, it gets to the "Windows is starting" screen and then just reboots itself.

Now I'm not even getting a blue screen.
Right after the Windows logo appears—basically during the "Windows is starting" screen—I get hit with a blue screen.
I'll upload a photo later, but the error code is 0x0000007B (0xFFFF880009A...........).
Safe Mode won't load, and the Windows recovery options aren't finding any fixes. I even tried swapping in a new Hard Disk Drive and had a friend try to install Windows on it, but it still won't boot. I've tried starting up without a mouse or keyboard, and I've even tried reseating the RAM sticks one by one, but nothing works.
This all started after the computer froze up once; I tried to do a hard reset, and since then, it's been stuck.
My specs are a Gigabyte motherboard, an Intel Core i3, and Windows 7 64-bit.
