Missing sound driver
I recently bought the GeForce 8600 GT, after i installed it everything was fine till 20 hrs later i lost my audio driver. i restarted my computer and reloaded the audio drivers with no luck. I then pulled out my video card and it worked fine. Every time i put my card back in i loose my audio output about 24 hrs later. Any sugestions?

How much power does your power supply give? It could be that your power supply cannot take the power of your videocard. They say it is recommended to have at least 700watts of power with that videocard as it consumes a lot of power.
You can checkhttp://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEn... to check your specifications. I don't know if it is really accurate, but when i checked, using your videocard it only consumes 40+ watts. It could be that your specs are "just about" for your power supply. So, when running at full load it may be just a bit over the required power. You could take off some unused peripherals like the floppy drive, maybe some unused PCI cards or some beautifications. It will save you a few wattage, but maybe thats all you need.
