I use 3 creative cards at the moment, and I must say that I do like them!..
But....
The onboard sound is probably fine for what your user wants (they had a dell
FFS lol)..

Removing the card AND the drivers and allowing it to run long enough to see
if it bluescreens means that you can eliminate it..
If it crashes with the card out AND drivers removed, then that's your
problem..

with Creative products the newest driver isnt forever the best, but I would
try to get say the last 3-4 releases.. I dont know if any of their patches
contain firmware fixes but you might want to be aware of that just in case..
(as you cant roll them back as easily)
