Please tell me I didn't fry my sound card.

Ok so I moved my computer to another place. hooked everything up. Works fine, then I see that my sound is only coming from one speaker... ok, maybe I plugged it in the wrong hole. I left my computer open with winamp running to figure out which hole was the right one while changing holes I get a screeching sound and a blue screen. Alright, restart computer.

Upon coming to desktop windows tell that it found new hardware... I'm like WTF I didn't install new shit. Then I think about my sound card, open up winamp, "Couldn't found sound device... blah blah blah", Alright I'll just reinstall my drivers.

Trying to install my drivers it tells me that it cannot find the hardware to install the drivers...

Did I fry my sound card?

Haven't opened up the case yet. I don't think I have lower slot for it, if I bring it up it's going to be in the way of the GPU fan airflow.

Edit: actually I can lower it, will try that.

Maybe, though since you moved the system my guess is it got dislodged. Re-seat it, which you are already doing by swapping slots, then try.
