Is the computer a laptop or notebook? If so are you operating under battery power while connected to the amp? If so, check your power settings in Windows. The cpu maybe throttled to reduce power consumption.

You could also have a bad chassis ground connection causing one machine to seek earth ground from the other through the interconnecting audio cable.
