    i have an acer 3680-2633 that has the MBAZL06 motherboard. it has the intel 950GMA graphics and i943 express chipset. Everything is working well except for the AC adapter jack that doesn't have a good connection half the time when the laptop is moved. But the real problem is when i use windows xp or any other program within it to produce sound using my internal realtek HD card. I want to fix the BSOD problem that is coming from either the speakers (internal/headphones - unlikey) or the internal sound card and/or drivers itself (likely) i have updated the realtek drivers from the the realtek website to the latest as of less than a month ago. i have had this BSOD problem ever since i had this laptop with windows XP pro sp/2 and sp/3...windows vista is junk to me so i haven't troubleshooted the BSOS issue with vista. I haven't had this BSOD issue using my external USB sound card at all and i've been using it for a long period of time. any advice? anybody have this BSOD with using internal sound playback on this motherboard MBAZL06?

    when you suffer the BSOD, do you get a STOP: code error

    if so write down those #'s and search for them at google and at microsoft...

    that might give you an idea where to start..
