Distortion every few minutes in sound.

Hi gang, Serp here again.

I keep getting distortion, like a garbled mess for a couple seconds every few minutes. I think it only does it when I wear my 5.1 surround Headphones.

The headphones are:

Turtle Beach Ear Force X-52

(They were free from a friend.)

My motherboard is:
Asus M3A32 Deluxe/Wifi
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=149&l3=591&l4=0&model=1930&modelmenu=1

I reinstalled the sound drivers already and it didn't help. Anybody have any idea what it could be?

Should I try to record my computer as I play music to capture the sound and post a video so you guys can see what I'm talking about?
(Obviously if it doesn't record the sound then it's just my headphones I guess)

Edit:
Silly me, Umm Windows Vista 32bit Home
4GB DDR3 Ram
Anything else Relevant to a sound problem?

Can you check the timing of the distortion for us? If the distortions are in exact time increments from each other, then it is likely a hardware/software issue with your sound device. My new laptop does the same thing; I tried driver updates and messing with the settings but nothing worked.

Alright, I put in a movie and timed the interval of distortion...

It's every 60 seconds. 1 minute in delay.

If I stop the video and wait, it still stays on time every 60 seconds of real time. (Not video/music time)

So there's something in or around my computer that every 60 seconds causes a distortion.

(Also, this test was done on both headphones and speakers, and also on the front and also the back sound jack on my computer.)

Could there be a problem with Vista or something? I just installed new drivers and this distorted noise is obnoxious.
