[gentoo-user] motherboard died?

Hi all, A few weeks ago there was a discussion about audio interference when running 3d applications. Well mine kept getting worse (it didn't to it at all a month ago) until I got fed up. I opened the side and (gently!) moved some of the power cables away from the data cables to see if that
