Graphics Card interfering with SCard

    I've a Geforce 5200FX and I put it in. The graphics card works great but when its working, my sound is all messed up. Its definetely interference. Its ok when nothing is "rendering" on the screen, you may here a little alright but once I do any graphic rendering, games, even screensavers the sound becomes on hearable.
    The ATX power cable to the board is right beside the graphics card and the onboard sound card, when I move the leads it quietens a bit and put it back it goes loud again, so I believe its actually interference between the Power cable and the Grahpics card. Unfortunally, the Graphics, Sound card and Power connector are all right beside eachother.

    My other MX440 graphics card doesn't cause a bit of interference, the 5200fx is redicilous.

    Any tips/advice? I don't think theres much I can do really is there?, only to buy PCI soundcard and place it as far away as possible but i don't have money to be purchasing one of those.

    Thanks,

    Pick up a dirt cheap Audigy or SBLive 5.1 here with free delivery. You'll have better sound and better performance.
