At first, Hello! 1st post here!
This will be a big post... So, ok here it goes!
After years and years I finally bought this winter an awesome machine.
Specs:
A small description:
Before I get my Graphics Card, I used intergrated graphics (Intel 4000 or w/e, sabertooth's one). Ok, I had low performance but no problems.
-I connect my monitor with graphics through HDMI because my monitor has Speakers and I use them (tv-pc monitor).
So I got a gift directly from USA, a PNY GeForce 660 ti XLR8 (I didn't know but it was slightly "used"). Installed it in the main PCI-e slot (gold one in sabertooth) and connected it with the monitor via HDMI again.
I updated all the drivers, bios, all the things.
Going to play a game (TERA and CS:GO) and suddenly, crackling sounds everywhere, huge distortions and mass FPS drops. From 80fps to 5-20, sound distortion (both media player and in-game music) and sometimes the sound completely goes off because of the mass distortion.
This was happening only in games.
I contacted with live NVIDIA support, they had no solution.
When it happens? Only when the sound is directed through the HDMI to TV speakers (using the sound driver of the GPU).
When I disable the driver and use headphones / headset (different driver) the problem doesn't exist.
What I did: I changed the PCI slot from the 1st to the 2nd one (brown).
The problem is SUPER REDUCED but it still exists.
In the first PCI, the problem appears in the first 10-20 seconds, and in the 2nd PCI, it appears in 1-5 mins or maybe 10.
It also appears to have reduced performance when I use 1st PCI slot.
Also; I use the brown RAM slots, instead of the gold ones.
-Is this a motherboard (PCI) or GPU problem?
-Maybe because it is an american card and I live in europe? i don't know?
Another problem: In any PCI slot, sometimes it seems that the cable is disabled, cause I get black screen with my tv showing "no connection" messages.
This is a rare thing but still happens in-game. Sometimes it fixes by itself or i need to re-plug the HDMI from the GPU.
Any of those problems didn't exist before I install the Graphics Card.
Thanks to anyone that reads this problem..
I am waiting for your solutions!
Edit: Turning VSYNC-ON seems to solve the problem (but I get stupid input lag so i don't find it identical...

) and work at such service centers. Some of the service departments doesn't even have the spare parts to be able to troubleshoot the problem properly. All they can do is disassemble a laptop and clean the fans and claim they've "fixed" it to the population that don't have interest in how computer's work. (Just a little rant 
)
