    I wonder if its possible that the Nvidia driver is just a copy/paste of the realtek driver.  Which would explain why they are both crashing.
    Can you just try one thing? Right click on your Windows 10 logo and go to control panel > programs > uninstall a program.

    Uninstall both your realtek driver and the nVidia graphics driver. Reboot your computer. (I'm assuming at this point that you do not have a separate sound card in one of your PCI slots - if you do, remove that first and uninstall its driver also.)

    Does your sound work now?


    Yea it works using some default hd audio driver.  But it still crashes after a while.

    I'd try seeing if you can disable the integrated sound in the BIOS.  That will give you some more options to check, and will probably prevent Windows from automatically installing anything for it.
    Yea I disabled sound in bios and it still crashes when nvidia sound is enabled.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    I'm returning the motherboard.  Thanks everyone for the help.  Now speaking to newegg and don't know if its a real person or a program....   My original payment method I no longer have so I need the return to be store credit.  Man the stuff I went through for this.   And yes I'm getting a different motherboard not the same one again.

    thanks again everyone

    That's a pretty good idea at this point fil. Let us know how it goes. What board did you choose?
    I haven't picked one out yet.  Gotta wait for the store credit first.

    what power supply did you buy ?
    They were suppose to have EVGA but noone could find it.  So I went with the generic  Thermaltake
    I hope it's at least smart SE/SPS :), the cheaper ones well, they like to send their 1 and 0 with indian smoke signals instead of copper wire, ...

    The SE/SPS at least have nicely sleeved cables with the modular version

    This story is why I don't build my computers but prefer others to do so. (and why I always buy the longest warranty possible)

    It's only money...... 

    Hope the next Mobo works out beter.

    I usually don't build it myself but pick the parts. Where I go, they only take 50 euro to build it and they make it in 1-2 days and cover all the wires and such for ventilation.

    Still wiser than purchasing a readily built one that usually has some crappy parts.

    It's all a matter of do you have the capability to cross-test components. If you have extra components lying around or can go to a friend to do so, you can rule out what's the issue really fast.

    Also a computer repair shop that does the actual work for almost all computer part companies around here accepts individual people coming in with a computer part or multiple within a warranty and skipping red tape to have them examined and possible repaired/sent to the seller for replacement.

    And all that for a modest ~15 euro fee (and finish much faster than the deadline the seller gives you)

    They also accept parts outside of warranty to test them for you for even cheaper.

    Maybe that mobo had issues. When you get your next mobo, make sure you don't install Nvidia audio, just use your mobo's audio drivers. They(Nvidia audio driver) always messed up my system until i removed them. Such irony that Nvidia drivers are the bad ones now, eh?

    One thing I didn't try was EUFI bios mode.  This might have solved the problem.  I would have had to reinstall windows to get it working maybe even have to do clean install.  EUFI is windows version of bios basically.

    Have always bought and built my own since the 90's, was more of a PITA then (although that RIVA 128 when it first came out...saweeeeet!)

    Hopefully this was a learning experience for him and he'll do better during his next build, if not buy picking your parts and get a warranty.

    Dude... first of all, it's Unified Extensible Firmware Interface or UEFI not EUFI.

    Second it's not magic.

    The only difference the typical user would ever notice is that you can use your mouse, they can have nice or ugly GUIs depending on the vendor, and they do work nicer with Windows to boot much, much faster.

    If you have HDs with zBytes of storage or run more that 4 operating systems, yeah, you might notice the technical differences. But in your case with your weird sound problems? Nope, that wasn't it.

    I thanked you for your help and even followed a lot of what was instructed me.  That doesn't give you the right to act like I'm an idiot.  I guess I was an idiot in the first place for thinking I can come on here asking for help without some trolls to show up eventually.

    Sorry but clean install of windows several times is just very bad advice and wasting my time.  If it doesn't work on the second install its pointless to install it again.

    I don't think anyone here has any problem at all helping you out. Just think about how much easier your next build will be.

    You made it sound like you didn't try a reinstall at all. Driver issues, for whatever reason on Windows, commonly do require a fresh reinstall, because the uninstall program doesn't wipe them all the way out, or Windows decides to reload them after your reboot, or something stupid like that.

    Yes, it's annoying,  but it is a very important step, as it can very quickly reveal if you are looking at a hardware or software issue in one big jump. Certainly a lot easier than ripping out the entire motherboard at any rate (which, on many computer builds, I've had to do as well). I would hate for your new motherboard to come in, and then for whatever reason, you have trouble reactivating Windows (because, motherboard swap) and then you get through the 3 hour phone call to fix that, and then your computer goes tits up yet again.

    You do enough of these, and you just get a spare hard drive and use that as a fresh install point, rather than formatting and messing up your main drive that you already installed and copied a lot of software over onto.

    It's pretty easy to get a "good" copy nowadays it even registers genuine and all ;)

    i forgot to mention that windows 10 has reset windows installation feature, in case booting from a usb and going through first installation steps was a "hassle".

    But i get the feeling it wouldn't have made the difference anyway, and that our own Mr.Christopher Columbus here is about to embark on grand new adventures with his laptop and new motherboard.

    3 hr???????

    Whenever I do a major upgrade and Windows does ask me to activate again, I have to call a number in worst case scenario, I get like 50 digits, I type those in my registration window and the work is done.
    All under 5 minutes.

    Granted I do not live in the US currently.

    So are you living in some canyon with a satellite that passes by 1/24hrs or so?
