Realtek AC 97 onboard Audio restarts machine

Ok having a real problem with a PC I just installed for a friend, it's an ECS 761GX-M754 motherboard with SiS964 Southbridge (which houses the audio chipset)
The audio is part of the motherboard and the second this thing got installed it rebooted the computer. Soon as any driver really holds, it will restart, and never stay in Windows. Presumably because it's trying to access this thing. Everything else works when I disable the audio device.
My questions for you:
- Is there some sort of jumper or connection I have to make on the motherboard to prevent these crashes? I doubt all these drivers are really that unstable, a default Windows driver should work?? Case connections for AC 97 and HD Audio shouldn't matter right? This is just a mobo's audio with a direct jack to the speakers
- What solutions are there if the on board video is for some reason broken?
Thanks a ton for your time. In the meantime I stare at this thing and try to figure out what I've done wrong.
