Does anyone know why or how I could be recording interference when I record my vocals into Protools using the Mbox 2?

I have an AKG C1000s microphone plugged directly into the Mbox 2 XLR input and the interference sounds like a "pop" or "crackle" when I'm recording. I can even hear it in my headphones when recording vocals.

My computer is 3.0 GHZ, 2GB of RAM and 200 GB of space. Everything else in the software works great. Before purchasing Protools Mbox 2 I used a M-Audio USB interface and never had this problem, vocals recorded fine.

I even have a digital mixer (DPS 16) with a hard drive that I can record vocals onto fine as well with this same mic. The problem only occurs when I record into the Mbox 2 . When I play tracks back sound is always in the same exact spot so I know it's been recorded.

Help me out here what you guys think?
