hows this for a computer

[kilz]

well i started this machine with out turtle beach just normal headset. i can remove the sound card and go off the on board sound card for now.

Whatever you do, you can only have one sound source, either one video card with on-board sound disabled, or on-board sound without a seperate sound card.  Or you can live with the conflict and the poor performance you're experiencing now.

You have a hardware failure. I would start from checking the CPU temperature from the bios and running memtest86 to check the memory for errors. If you get even one error your ram is bad. If your CPU temperature is over 60 when idle something has gone wrong with your CPU cooler installation. If you overclocked your computer you need to set it back to stock speed as a first thing before trying to find other reasons.

i have tested all hardware and all checks out good. i will be checking the temps here shortly. bios are set to default by factory standards. i just reset everything to default i am going to see what this does if that doesnt do it then i am checking temps

Temp will cause that I believe. Check your CPU fan see if it is attached solidly. Also, you may want to take it off clean the heatsink and processor and reapply thermal grease.

That's all I know Kilz. Keep us posted.

It's all brand new but it's broken k? So if you bought it from a shop you should get it fixed. If you built yourself, it's troubleshooting time.

Three jobs? Ouch!

I've always wondered how you can do that? I mean don't you sleep or ever go home? Are they all part time or what?

I work a single job from 8 to 16 hours a day..

How's it going Kilz?  Did you get it figured out?  Have you tried getting it down to one sound source yet (i.e. one card or onboard only)?
