Unfortunately sound worked fine before I put in the ATI video card,
using the Realtek High Definition Audio. Unfortunately, with the video
card in and the drivers for the new sound devices not installed, the
Sound Control Panel options are grayed out...so I can't force it to
use Realtek again.)

You mean those onboard Relteks? You could try to find a driver for it.

I would think that getting a dedicated sound card would be a better
idea though, since you would also be adding more hardware resources to
your PC.

Yeah, I've used the driver that came with the board, the driver
Windows Update provides, and the updated driver from Gigabyte's Web
site.
Yeah, dedicated sound card would be better--but I don't want to advise
him to buy something more until I can figure out exactly what is wrong
with the system for fear of just throwing money away. He's not exactly
rich, and he's a friend/co-worker, not a customer. ;)

OK, update:
I got the Realtek sound to work fine and prevented the "Audio Device
on High Definition Audio Bus" from installing when I inserted the ATI
video card.
It's running on the same SATA hard drive, but a different cable in a
different SATA port on the board.
BSOD.

So, I got it to work fine and couldn't get it to crash when it was
running with no sound at all.
Can that still be an issue? Could the onboard sound cause a BSOD
blaming win32k.sys and 0x050F? (Which has seemingly no consensus on
the Googletubes what that means, but is usually blamed on RAM or video
drivers.)

I guess I still need to try to find a used, cheap SATA drive to try it
on, and eliminate the HD as the problem.

I found a mention to the HEX Code at the address below.http://www.pegasus-afs.com/Support/WebHelp/hex_error_code_directory/h...

I don't have an understanding of the meaning but it might mean
something to someone here, It looks like a program is looking for some
kind of instruction in the HDD Cache by the sector remark, but then I
am guessing.

0x050f
A request was made to locate a sector in the HCM, but it was not
present in the cache. This is an internal error code

Cheers

Eep, sorry, I mistyped the HEX. No "F".
(The bugcheck for the BSOD is at the bottom of this message.)
Everything I've found about the BSOD message says driver, ...or
RAM.... or some unknown hardware issue. =/

Hmm, it doesn't crash when it's running with the same Realtek sound
and drivers on the IDE drive... I'm thinking that may still mean it's
the SATA drive itself. That's the only thing, aside from the mobo and
CPU, that remains.
But then, why does it ONLY crash when using the ATI video card on the
SATA drive, and never crashes when using the onboard NVidia chip on
the SATA?
It never crashes when using the ATI card on the IDE drive either.

Makes no sense to me.
And no one around here sells SATA drive cheaper than $50 and I just
need a testing drive. :P
