   problems with humm..please help

   Ok, here's my problem.   
      
   I have an Numark TT200 turntable hooked up to a Gemini preamp using moster   
   cables. they are grounded together by a thick wire as instructed by the   
   preamp manual.   
   The preamp is hooked up to my PC using a moster line in cable going into my   
   on board sound card.   
   I'm getting a ton of electrical humm coming from the Monstaer line in cable   
   that's connected to my preamp.   
   I know its the cable because when my PC is on and I pull the right and left   
   jack out of my preamp, you can hear the buzz coming from the ends   
   of the cables.   
   My question is, why is this cable so hot? Mp pc is grounded, is it not?   
   At first I thought the preamp was junk but gemini is an ok brand and noone   
   else is complaining.   
   Now that I know its the line in cable, how can I fix that?

   thanks in advance.
