Info about Chernobyl (aka CIH):

When CIH triggers, it tries to overwrite critical information on the system's hard disk and, on some computers, deletes system information storied in BIOS memory, which leaves the computer unbootable.

Some variants of this virus are triggered on the 26th day of other months.

The CIH virus erases the first 2,048 sectors (1 megabyte) of each of the system's non-removable and writable disk drives. 

Sounds like it might have something to do with your problems.

Since you're fiddling with new bits of hardware and (it seems) configuring your PC for sampling etc I suggest do a complete re-install of Windows and format of the drives. There is nothing so refreshing as a complete "clean". Otherwise you might be chasing problems for weeks.

The adapter works well in my slower computers but fails in two completely different (but faster) computers. The symptom is that the card is not detected upon boot and Win98SE has to do a re-scan in the Device Manager to see the card.
