Okay, so last night I went to bed with music playing. This morning I wake up and both my video card and sound card aren't working. My network card still works fine though.

It boots up to the loading screen, but the screen goes black and flickers about every 5 seconds. Then it restarts and asks me if I want to go into safe mode. It boots into safe mode and tells me that my video card couldn't complete a drawing process. When I try to play mp3s, Media Player tells me that my audio device isn't operating correctly.

I have a GeForce Ti 4200 and a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card.

At first I thought it was the drivers, so I reinstalled both. Still didn't work.

I moved the sound card to a different PCI slot, and it still didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.
