Audio distortion occurs exclusively during gameplay.
Hello, I just got my new PC built. It worked perfectly during the first weekend. But when gaming with high GPU usage (95%+), I noticed a slight frame drop. The audio seemed distorted—like someone cut the track or plugged in a bad cable. I’d hear it about once every minute, but it happened randomly. Two games stood out: Spider-Man Remastered and D2R. The former looked okay in-game, while the latter was fine. This isn’t suggesting a PSU issue yet, and no restarts have occurred. Other potential causes?
PC was showing identical problems. It froze briefly before displaying a Clock watchdog Timeout Bluescreen. The Bluetooth feature on my M.2 WiFi/Bluetooth card stopped working, though the Wi-Fi connection stayed stable. I’ll have to wait longer to see if the issue persists or if the Bluetooth chip is the root cause of unrelated problems.
