Is my motherboard failing?

Yesterday I've started getting ping spikes to my router about every ten seconds, I thought it might've been the adapter since there were no issues with it on another computer.
Today though through my headphones I'm hearing a slight crackle at the exact same times the ping spikes would happen and in addition to that, my external HD is disconnecting for a split second during file transfers and I cant backup, not /every/ ten seconds but still very often??

Odds are you have something running thats causing this. Since it only happens for a short bit every 10s (or so) it may be difficult to track down.
Can you list your systems specs and OS version for us. Thanks.

update kinda, I bought a PCI wifi adapter beforehand thinking that was my issue but while the ping spikes have lessened a lot more to be unnoticeable, headphones are still emitting noise (not at 10 sec intervals anymore but rather inconsistent along with the router) and my external hard drive still constantly disconnects during any file transfers
