Of course there's an easier way I could have checked. MSI boards have a "Board Explorer" in the BIOS, showing connected devices. Nothing shows as connected to the audio jacks. Thanks guys!

Thanks. I figured it might be the RAM based on some searches, but after testing for 24 passes, there was nothing detected. Thanks for the reply though. :)
I will be gone for a little bit to test my...

This might be a bit long, I apologize, but I like to give details.

Every once in a while, my computer locks up entirely, with no input nor output happening. It was happening every few minutes,...
