New NVIDIA GeForce GT710, sound is crackily and fps drops during the crackles.

This only happens on some games (Such as FSX)

I thought reinstalling the sound drivers would do the trick, but every setup I try says the OS isn't supported. I tried in compat mode for XP SP3, SP2 and Vista SP3 and SP2

This is my PC: http://www.dell.com/support/home/au/en/aubsdt1/product-support/servicetag/96XTT1S/diagnose

I tried the sound driver given by dell, it yells at me saying it's not supported.

At this moment, its got the default sound drivers that windows installs, but it seems to only work with headphones plugged in. When I take them out, the sound goes off. Still got the crackles.

Where did you plug your sounds? Motherboard? front panel? If it's on the front, try reseating your connectors to your motherboard. Something might have been moved/loose. Have you also installed the latest gpu driver?

If you're using a soundcard, can you reinstall it?

How would I go about "reseating" the connectors?

Latest GPU drivers according to NVIDIA

I'm not sure if it's a soundcard. I just know there is a speaker at the front.

Update, downgraded to windows 7 for unrelated purposes.

GPU seems to operate fine, but now the issue also happens when scrolling down webpages. Both the scrolling and the crackles appear, and the scrolling goes really slowly.

An update, now the GPU seems to crash and then reboot with an error down in the bottom right saying it crashed and recovered.

I ran latencymon, this is what it came up with:

"Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates."

Cannot find anything about CPU Throttling in the BIOS or Control Panel. CPU is an Intel Core Duo 2.
