I would try taking it all apart again (everything) and rebuilding it, making
sure everything is clean,
especially conectors. Noise on the audio side suggest a bad connection, but
probably on the analouge
side? First thing I though of was memory, you could try running it with just
one stick in for a start.
Try stripping it down to the minimum it needs to run and see if you still
get problems.
Can you also monitor temperatures etc? Virus scan won't do any harm.
Maybe somethingis generating a lot of electrical noise, Would explain audio?

Two things I check first, when random rebooting or system instability
occurs, are memory chips and the power supply. On older mainboards I'd
also closely examine the board for swollen or leaking capacitors, but
that shouldn't be an issue here. If you ran a COMPLETE memtest then swap
out the power supply.

can also give similar problems.
If you have two sticks and the MB allows it, try one at a time to see
if there is any significant difference between them.
If the MB does RAM (bank) switching then swapping sticks !might! show
a difference in problems.
