Recently i was playing skryim fully modded out with ENB and some other mods on my GTX 580, after a while the game would start stuttering with a loud buzzing noise through my headphones (BZZT, literally) every time it stuttered, so i thought my graphic card was giving out, so i bought a GTX 780 and lo and behold ,the same problem persists...could this be a processor/ram problem? or could it just be a PSU that cant meet the graphic cards demands...

Or could it somehow be my Creative X-fi HD titanium.

Please respond soon...i cant play anything without fear of massive stuttering...

PS: this is happening with metro/crysis 3/Gmod/etc

And my 3770k is overclocked to 4.3ghz without any extra voltage or cooling.

Zalman 800 watt psu

If it helps, recently my desktop randomly starts to stop responding till I have to restart due to every Window being unresponsive, even ctrl alt delete won't make it budge

I also formatted today to see if it gets fixed

Well the 800w Zalmans dont normally have voltage issues and seem to be well reviewed units. Whats happens if you remove the x-fi card and use the onboard sound card?

Probably a failing motherboard or power supply then. Another possibility would be EMI interference but that would require a large source like a big electric motor a few feet from the tower.
