System Shutdown

i recently buy a 24-bit sound card and install it to my gigabyte motherboard blah...blah...blah

finish doing all the setting, i started playing some game to hear some sound enhancement. but why each time i start the game it suddenly crash and shutdown to windows. i couldn't play my game? this is not happening before i install the sound card.

i have test remove the sound card and play some game and it didn't crash. actually my sound card is in good condition! so what is the big deal here?

i've try play music using winamp and the result is just the same!

Try updating the driver of your sound card?

Do a RAM test and check your PSU voltage levels.
