Reply #1: Static in your PC speakers can be caused by a lot of [View All]

different things. I have seen fluorescent lights, cordless phones, microwaves and cell phones cause noise in speakers.

There is a chance that your power supply in the PC is getting a bit sketchy.

It could be as simple as the PC is not grounded properly.

The hard drive problem sounds rather odd. My guess is that you are allowing windows to perform a shutdown, hibernate or stand-by. Hard drives will usually blink like this when there is an error. It could just be a power/voltage error. If you have another PC available, check to see if the speakers make the same static while connected to it. If so, it is probably a problem with the amp in the speaker subsystem, and unrelated to the PS itself.
