Every time I boot, I get the message that a device or driver failed to start, check the event viewer. However the event viewer just repeats the same message and I cannot find the device or driver that failed to load. Is there someplace else I can look? I think it has something to do with my onboard sound card, I have to reload the drivers after a reboot, but don't know why, I just go through the update wizard, it finds the drivers and reloads them and it works fine until I reboot.

One place you might want to check is the services snap-in. Then look for services that are set to automatic startup but are not started. This will usually point to the error. Thanks
