Anyone have problems with random noise on sound card?

I started recording some stuff on PC but find I have a loud noise occurring after some small amount of record time. Happens with or without amp on accoustic or electric. I haven't figured it out yet. Any ideas?

It's called Digital Distortion, an it happens usually when your processor is tapped out...
All the musical information basically gets choked up an the noise you hear is the lagging sound trying to catch up...

Sure enough. Thanks Ben, I hadn't thought about that being a problem. Kush, do a ctrl-alt-del and look at the CPU use when you get noise. Just like Ben said, mine occurs when the CPU starts to get 60+ percent utilized.

Thanks again for the help Ben. I've used some of the setting and I can definitely tell that it's helping. I had several applications open when I was trying to record so that was a problem as well. I still don't know if I'm over the hump or not but it's definitely getting closer. I'm getting ready to restart my computer in order to see where I am. Of course, you realize that no good deed goes unpunished. I may actually end up posting if I can get this to work. LOL.

Kush, how's it going for you guy? The sound I get recorded seems to be OK (I'll get picky about it when I actually get the guitar to make a noise worth recording).

P.S. For anyone that is as dumb as I am at this, here is what I've been doing to record:
a) Downloaded Audacity (theres a good post on this and plugins needed)
b) Plug guitar directly into line in
c) Plug guitar into practice amp and then plug emulated lint out/emulated headphone out into line in (this one worked better, the first is too low.
d) Start record on Audacity
e) Beat on strings.

I would be careful about what I stuck into the line-in.
