I think it just auto adjusts the volume, presumably if you're wearing headsets or using a microphone so that you can still hear it. It was giving me problems with TF2, so I had to turn it off as well.

It seems I still am :/ I have no idea what the problem might be.

Have you tried right-clicking your volume control icon, going to "Playback Devices", clicking the "Communications" tab, and set it to "Do nothing"?

It took a lot of playing around with compatability to get it to install, but now that it has, the ASInsHelp seems to have disappeared. One way or another, that bit is fixed. Excellent! Thanks for your help, again. Now I'm off to see if I can't find a Blue Screen again.

It keeps giving me a "Privileged instruction" error, both when it starts and when I try to detect unknown devices. I've tried it run as administrator as well as with XP.SP2 compatability. But, the two unknown devices were a game controller port for old joysticks, and a midi controller port...

A clean install. Dumped everything I needed on an external, then wiped the harddrive clean before installing the RC. Should I try again? Perhaps x86 instead of x64? I didn't really need 64-bit just yet, I was just giving myself room for an impending upgrade.

Thanks, but I had tried that without much luck. I found out through a lot of searching that the two unknown devices simply weren't supported by modern OSes, so I disabled them from the BIOS (they turned out to be some MIDI controller and some other unnecessary feature). The SM Bus controller...

I'm still having blue screen issues. I've tried to ignore them but they're seeming more intrusive now. Any other suggestions?

I had already tried the ASUS site without much help, but the system information tools you gave me lead me to finding drivers for nforce4 SLI Intel Edition for Vista x64. That took care of one of the three yellow flags (woo!), but I still have no idea what to do with the others. In any case, I...

It's an ASUS P5ND2-SLI.

"Other devices" has three flagged entries. "SM Bus Controller" and two unknown devices.

Ever since I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (7100), I've been encountering consistent system crashes whenever the system is stressed, be it by videos or games, for a short while no more than half an hour. I've looked at the crash dumps to try and isolate whatever driver could be the issue...
