no other games can become a little sluggish also, even world of warcraft, i have Settlers6 here but i havnt played that much yet, that game hasnt gone slow on me yet but it makes my pc make one hell of a noise when trying to play it.

That sounds like the harddrive is acting up. Did you get a new HDD also or is it an old one?

i bought a brand new 1tb hdd, 7200rpm and had a 32mb cache, all i can remember off the top of my head

Where is the noise coming from?

It's worth going through the BIOS setup and checking it.

 

You have a unlocked multiplier CPU, check it is set at the standard x14, your RAM spec says 1.5 to 1.65 Volts, check that too.

im 95% sure that the clicking sounds when some games are loading comes from the graphics card aswell as the going nuts sounds when some of the games are running. Also i do have the bios set to the correct setting as stated above.

Im starting to think these are the standard noises of the graphics cards, but still doesnt explain the jumping in some games. :(

not sure if this means anything, but i put my headphones on today and started to play a game and in the background of the game sounds i could here a noise, so i muted the game sames and the headphones were making a similar sound to that of the actual pc? when i minimized the game, the headphone sounds stopped as do the ones on the pc?
