I have formatted my HD ,,thinking a possible conflict with drivers..the buzzing started again even before installing drivers..I replaced the sound card..back to the on board card..no driver up grade..the MB is asus p8p67..it has been doing this for 6 months,,I have had the pc for 2 years ,,2 weeks and 3 days..I am very unhappy.Is there a way to check the motherboard on line?

This is a common problem, and you have 2 issues.

1 A buzzing sound.
2 Video lag.

You could look at your codecs.
Have you got any power cables crossing and speaker cables.
Does this happen when you are using earphones(Try using earphones, if you have no buzzing this will answer alot of questions)

If the "buzzing sound" is in the speakers, it could be a "ground loop" hum problem. What all do you have connected to the PC? (other than the keyboard/mouse)?

Any of the other devices could be causing a "ground loop" hum. Unplug one at a time from the AC power line and see if it changes. It could even be more than one device.

Ground loop hums are caused by a "difference in potential" of the AC power grounds. Those of us that are musicians come across this frequently with connecting various effects, two amps, etc. This can happen even if the two devices are plugged into the same AC power source (e.g. the same power strip).

If you are getting buzzing from the headphones as well as the speakers then I dont think it is a ground loop problem, can you borrow a USB sound card from anyone to try? This is purley for diag.

Do you have a mic that is always on? this could cause the problem.

Any device connected to the PC that also has its own AC (mains) power can cause the ground loop hum, if it is a ground loop hum problem. I used to be a guitar amp tech and "fought" a lot of these problems.

I think we are getting somewhere
first I want to describe my work desk..2 monitors,next to them sits the pc ,just to the right of the pc is another monitor, which goes to another pc(#2) that sits on the floor about 5 feet away..this pc is connected to my main pc by way of a router..(another pc(#3) is also connected to this router. It is across the room.
I decided to turn off (not unplug), just turn off #2 I leave it on 24/7..the buzzing stopped..almost..so I unplugged everything connected with this Pc..no buzzing,,It was surreal.........I couldn't believe what happened.I sat here and wanted to cry.
Now the next test is: was it the pc#2 or the router.I will deal with this tomorrow..
Just please know how MUCH I appreciate your help..I am so grateful that you responded to my plea.

moving the other monitor and unplugging the other pc fixed it for 1 day..the next day,I pushed my pc back a little on my desk and it started buzzing..do you think I need to replace every cable (one by one) Maybe I should unplug EVERY THING (OMG).clean, wash walls and windows and then plug in one at a time..I hate this
