so heres what i did:

Bios update: still didnt work
Creative Patch for this specific issue: "no creative product detected in system"
Happened to get my Antec tpq1200 from fedex, installed the PSU. Guess what, out of no where the sound card works. How wierd... im wondering if now that im using two 8 pin motherboard connectors that provide more power? Im not too sure but heckl it saved me from buying a new soundcard.
