I'm worried it could be the power supply too since it's so random, not sure if that even makes sense though.


@TodayIsForgotten(mind if I call you TIF?)- Sorry I forgot basic info like OS and version, I'll add them to the first post at the bottom so it's all in one place.

I'll try disabling the sound but would that cause game/program/mouse pointer lag?

I have a separate graphics card. I remembered because I had to send it in for a new one under warranty a while back. I suppose that means I should have an onboard one as well?

When the noise happens usually I'm not even touching the mouse at all. I'll turn on a video and after a few seconds it starts to happen. Btw static might not be the right word for the sound. It's kinda like a robot voice in a cheesy movie. It's very ugly sounding.

It's a Dell(yea I know lolDell) running Windows 7. If you, or anyone, needs more info about it just ask.

Btw the temperature program shows the GPU getting up to 70C at times, that can't be good. It also says there's no GPU fan, not sure if that's normal or a clear sign of what's wrong.
The GPU may not have a fan, just a heat sink. Not all video cards have attached fans you'd have to look at it to know for sure.

You likely have an onboard video card. Easiest way to tell is look at the back for another place to connect your monitor thats not the graphics card. If you bought your computer in a store it's very likely you have an onboard video card.
