I believe I have the same issue, although on an ASUS. Win 64 bit, GeForce GTX260, SoundMAX Integrated audio. Brand new computer with no modifications. After 15-20 minutes the audio starts to stutter, break up and sounds very robotic. Performance gradually degrades until audio is extremely distorted, eventually resulting in a crash. Seems to happen with graphics-intense video games, but lowering the video quality settings doesn't seem to make a difference so I don't think it's stress-related. When I quit the game, I check the temperature settings and everything seems normal. Restarting the computer seems to make the problem go away, although I can't say for sure it's 100% effective. Drivers and BIOS are all up to date. Memory check returned no problems. Would be very curious to know if you've had any progress on this issue.
