May be your PSU. from toms hardware More about sharkoon wpm 700 bronze psu good Chayan4400Jan 14, 2016, 7:12 AM No better than any generic PSU. Sharkoon's units are Tier Five on Tom's Hardware's PSU Tier List (Link in signature). Quoting from that article: Quote: Tier Five Avoid IMMEDIATELY. These units are highly unsafe to use. No such protections added, very thin gauge wiring used, false advertising and too much to list. Reference to a higher tiered unit for a better, money saving and a much safer unit. For your safety's sake, please don't order or pick one up for use in your system. These units are a potential fire hazard and could even kill you, let alone your system. Not to be used even in low power builds for normal use, let alone gaming PCs.

what are they plugged into when you hear that "insert noise" sound

what device is listed as default in sound and playback?

i have a noctua nh-u12 with 2 fans, temps dont go over 60, and doesn't overhang ram slots on my z270e

plug into your soundcard and enable that in playback devices

i think nvidia hd audio is only for sound over hdmi or displayport. so if you are not using sound through your monitor, you can disable it

corsair dark core is coming out in a couple weeks. I may go with that I just got a g502 and i can't stand the noise from the scroll wheel, and when i pull my finger off the left click. Also tried a corsair Glaive, which seems good for the most part, just doesn't fit my hand as well as i would like

what does windows reliability monitor say?

this started after you got new RAM?

did you run memtest 86? https://www.memtest86.com/ I just did and found a bad stick of corsair vengeance lpx. (found error in about 1 second) full test took 4 hours can't hurt to test. make a bootable usb...instructions on site

was it backed up hopefully? can you get to bios? I once changed a partition on a drive on my old mac, and lost 2TB of data. dont know about mini tool partition wizard. wonder if you could reinstall windows from usb with the keep files option? just a thought...not sure to be honest

uninstall/reinstall drivers?

good luck, I had been troubleshooting a similar glitch. don't know if it did anything but I uninstalled nvidia 3d viewer and another nvidia 3d application too. good so far, but sometimes my glitch only appears after a few days

can't hurt to start isolating variables. I just did and found a bad stick. you have to create a bootable usb and it took about 4 hours. https://www.memtest86.com/ or look in windows reliability monitor for any warnings or errors. drivers, bios, and chipset up to date?
