Default No Sound On PC

I've psoted about this something I'm sure but I can't find it. I've gone into the device manager it is listed as Multimedia Audio Controller to try and reinstall the drivers but this was unsuccessful. I downloaded what I thought was the right driver, but when I tried to install the PC just rebooted itself.

I did as Davw suggested the Everest program this is what I found:

Under there are the two options: Windows Audio and PCI/Pnp Audio which says :

Intel 82801DB ICH 4 AC'97 Audio controller [B-0]

I've tried going to the Intel website and looking via the Processor and Chipsets, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for.

CPU Type: Intel Celeron D 345, 3066 MHz (23 x 133)

Motherboard Name: Intel Plumb Island D845EPI / Sea Breeze D845GVSR / Villanova D845GLVA

Motherboard Chipset: Intel Brookdale-G i845GEV

Help would be great as I'd like to get this sorted tonight.

The download file is a rar file, which should extract to 2 files :

ac97ich4.sys
oem34.inf

If you go to Device Manager locate the Audio Card right click on it and select Update Driver, you should then be able to point it at the oem34.inf file.
