Some possibilities:
- You keep moving the system while it's running and damaging the hard drive? Even a ricketty desk can cause damage, or somebody bumping into it. You'd be unlucky, but it's possible.
- Poor standard power supply unit. Forget the Wattage if it's a cheapie. Consistent delivery of stable voltages is what's more important, and only the more expensive brands deliver quality. Fluctuating voltage levels can damage components or cause system instability.
- Overclocked? If you've overclocked your system without 'locking' the PCI bus speed, you'll end up with data corruption sooner or later.
By the way, can you please describe a bit more clearly what the 'glitching' is that you hear? Your comment describes nothing at all, and only leaves us guessing. 'Glitch' means simply a mistake or interruption. Describe the sound, eh, and exactly when it occurs?
