I have a Athon +1700 Socket A L7S7A2 mother board with AMI BIOS. My house has been recently struck by lightning BUT my computer was unplugged and was largely uneffected. As soon as I turned it on however there was no sound, just beeps from the CPU instead. I thought I could fix the problem by wiping the harddrive (which I was planning to do before the strom). When I reinstalled windows, everything worked fine but instead of my computer reconizing that there was a sound card there and all it had to do was find a driver, but that didn't happen. The sound card was never recongnized the computer doesnt think theres one actually there. This has never happened before, it always shows up on device manager and then it finds a driver for the hardware. I would apperciate any suggestions
