Been encountering this strange problem for a while now and I just can't seem to figure it out. I hear a light buzz whenever I move my mouse around and when I'm scrolling, any video or tv tuner I'm watching stutters and breaks up momentarily.

Also, I don't know if this is related but I can't use my mic for any vonage or google talk programs. As soon as I try to use any voice messaging and strong feedback noise comes on regardless of mic volume. It continues to stay that way till restart. Mic works fine beforehand.

If someone can please help me, I would really really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (939)
Asus A8N-E
ATI x800 XL
1 gigabyte of hyperx Kingston (2 x 512 not running in dual channel)
2 x 160 Sata
2 x 160 Pata
none in raid
Tested with 3 different mice, used usb as well as PS/2
Currently using Logitech G5

Had similar problems running windows xp 64 and in Media Center 05

Hi, Try shutting off the speakers while using the mike an see what happens. You probably should be using Head Phones. Good Luck, Jim

If you've eliminated unshielded wires and other devices causing electrical interference, it's possibly the video card in conjunction with an inefficient PSU...the card is drawing too much power. Yes, it can happen. Considering you have four hard drives (and I'm assuming at least one optical) you're really taxing that PSU...whatever it is...
