Correct.
I had this problem on my older PC. Would do this over and over. Problem was hardware. Onboard sound card, and add on sound card. So it was a hardware conflict.
Fixed in BIOS. Let run through it's cycle for the HD's whatever, and never had it again. Was very annoying, so I can feel your pain. Unfortunately, with computers sometimes you have to be patient, and go through one by one hardware, and software to illiminate problems, conflicts, check viruses, and so on.
Doing a complete reinstall should be the last option. A lot of people seem to enjoy doing this every time they hit a bug, but I think it's for lack of patience. You just need to go through process of illimination, and you will normally find some conflict, driver, setting, or something out of whack.
