I am running an old system at work. 800mhz amd processor, an sis 6326 graphics card and 128mb RAm, i tried to install a sound card to an open pci port, at the first start up it ran fine, it auto detected it and installed the correct drivers. After all that it froze, i re booted and after the log in phase it froze again. I removed the sound card and the system didn't freeze anymore. what could have been the problem here?

Check system manager to see if you have any open IRQs. You didn't mention it but I have a feeling that your sound card is not pnp - you have to set the IRQ on it. Set it to a known open IRQ. If you do not have any open ones then set it to the same IRQ that your printer is on (they can co-exist) which is usually IRQ 7 (but not always).

check the irq, could be conflict that caused system frozen
