Windows 10: Upgraded my computer, having a weird audio issue

Yesterday I upgraded my build and went from an 8600k, Z370 krait gaming, and 2667mhz mushkin RAM to an i9-10850k, MSI z590 tomahawk, and 3200mhz Corsair RAM. Everything is working great except for one very strange issue. I was playing CW and all of a sudden, the audio cut out and a loud static noise started playing through the speakers. This happens randomly after playing any game for a bit. It can happen 5 minutes into playing or 30 minutes into playing. It has not happened during normal usage but only while gaming.

I've figured out that I can temporarily fix it by disabling and re-enabling the sound device, or by toggling mono sound on and off, or by restarting.This will last another 5-30 minutes and it starts again. I've also figured out that if I turn the volume down to 0 (which also mutes it), and then press mute on my keyboard, the regular audio will come back on at full volume. However, it sounds muffled, and if I touch the volume knob to turn it up past 0, the static plays.

In my attempts to fix this, so far I've tried: -Reinstalling realtek drivers, including using revo to completely remove them before reinstalling -Disabled all other sound devices in sound control panel -Changed advanced sound settings, including different formats, and disabling options like audio enhancements -Uninstalling realtek drivers and just using the generic windows drivers -Reinstalling NVIDIA audio drivers, and uninstalling nvidia audio drivers -Reset CPU overclock -Disabled XMP

I've also made sure all other drivers and Windows are up to date. I am using a soundbar that is connected through optical. This seems like a driver or Windows issue but I'm not sure how else to fix it. What else can I do?

Weird issues and slowdowns

Having some weird issues lately, at startup my computer listed in specs hangs for a minute or 2 displaying a 98 in the bottom right of the screen.

Also the computer seems to randomly get sluggish for a minute or 2 at times..


Not a clue what it could be, maybe the RAM is shitting the bed?
