So I had some computer problems earlier this year and replaced my motherboard with a asrock pro3. The motherboard worked fine besides a very wierd sound that would play through my speakers while installing a program. It was like a sound loop that would happen for a half a second or so and everything would return back to normal. I noticed that it would happen while Microsoft visual C++ and directX updates would install on steam. Anyway the motherboard died after exactly one month of usage and I returned it through warranty. It actually happened while I was unpacking a very large file. Luckily everything else was undamaged. I put in the replacement motherboard and reinstalled windows. The problem is that I am still getting this wierd sound freeze when the direct X and C++ updates install. I switched over to my 7 year old 256 gb hard drive and the problem went away. That drive died on me yesterday.
Does anyone know what could be causing this. Maybe it really is the hard drive? Does anyone know if a hard drive is capable of doing stuff like this? Or maybe my power supply is doing some funky stuff.

I have never heard tell of a hard drive causing sound looping like this.
