From time to time I notice that my old sound card has a (!) icon in device

manager right after a system restart.

 

If I try to reset the device (click disable and then enable), the device

will disapear and this event is logged:

 

The device 'Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373) (WDM)'

(PCI\VEN_1274&DEV_5880&SUBSYS_20001274&REV_02\3&61aaa01&0&58) disappeared

from the system without first being prepared for removal.

 

Could this be a hardware problem or is something messed up with the drivers?

This only happens sometimes. Mostly after a very-short (less than a second)

power outage.

 

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2, Athlon XP 1700+. Mainboard: K7VTA3

(elitegroup). Professional power supply 400W output power. All PCI slots are

in use. I have a new Audigy 4 sound card, so the old one just stays there to

keep 1 activation point.

    You really should get a UPS if you frequently have power bumps.
