  I'm having a possible conflict between Windows 3.1 and SoundBlaster.
Sometimes when I turn on the computer and Windows is half way through booting
up a constant " electrical " sounding hum occurs and, I close out of Windows
and reset the computer to stop the noise. The second time Windows starts it
never reoccurs. This happens about one in eight times I start the computer.
If it's a hardware conflict why doesn't it happen all the time? I have a 286,
game card, com. card and the SoundBlaster card installed.

                        Thanks for any help,
                                Wilf Meier
