Hello everyone, I have a question regarding a pc i recently built and had troubles since then. Ok so i get the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, Phenom II x2 B55 (which was successfully unlocked to four cores), Viper II Sector 5 Series DDR3-16000, StealthXStream 2 700 Watt ATX Power Supply, 250 GB Barracuda HDD @ 7200 rpms. I am running 32 bit XP (also had installed 64bit Win 7). So far most of the things work fine on it, however there are 3 main problems i encounter and can not figure out.

1) - There is this terrible tearing scratching noise coming out of my headphones or sound system. I plugged in the headphone jack in the rear panel-same issue. It only happens when sound is produced - a video file is played, a game is started or the volume slider in volume control is moved.

2) - screen gets greenish pixelized when a movie is played. As if some codecs or something is missing. I downloaded current K Lite pack as well as most current video card drivers. Also pictures get pixelized and smushed.

3) - Flash crashes everytime i play youtube or Pandora. Takes about 1-2 minutes to crash.

I dont know if all three issues have any connection with each other but it seems like drivers cant fix it and i am starting to think its the mobo.
Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

1. common issue with onboard sound = download latest audio drivers from Asus site or Realtek

2.Use VLC
3.driver related or buy a discrete gpu

Got it! Unlockin all four cores wouldnt do it. One of them was causing it to do the noise, tweak the video and crash programs. But for $87 i got me a perfectly well working Phenom II x3 @ 3.2.
Issue resolved.
