I don't think that installing a hd would cause that extra noise. Mostly likely you hit loosened some cables, or something like that.
Tune your pc to gaming but add a good internal soundcard for your needs. Worked for me!
My PC was built by a manufacturer that makes nothing but gaming PCs. And I have and Echo sound card that has amazing converters. This noise is driving me crazy. It doesn't show up in recordings unless I sample from my PC (which I do all the time).
Thats a ground loop mate. Are you running XLR or RCA to/from your soundcard?
