It sounds like a driver conflict to me. Have you uninstalled the CMedia (onboard sound) drivers from Add/Remove programs (PCI Audio Drivers and PCI Audio Applications) and Device Manager?

Also go to the C:\Windows\Inf folder and delete the CMedia .inf file, if it still exists. The INF folder is normally hidden so got to Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View.
Then click the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" option.

The BIOS version is listed on the black screen when the system is booting. Press the Pause/Break key to stop the boot process so you can read the screen. When you've finished, hit Enter to restart the boot process.

I don't think the later BIOS revisions had the Onboard PCI Audio option. Seems a bit pointless to me anyway.
