Hey guys !
First of all my CPU is an I7 2600 Sandybridge 3.4ghz and i have 16gb of Corsair Vengeance Ram.
Before i reinstalled my windows everything worked fine.
Now a few days ago i noticed some performance issues and found out that one of my hardrives' S.M.A.R.T system showed it was having problems, so i bought an OCZ vector 128gb SSD and two Western Digital 3T Red Caviar HD's to run them mirrored for backup and ditched the unhealthy HD, and this was the only change to the system since the problem started.
Now i installed my windows on the SSD for maximum performance, but now each time i have a music player running in the background while i browse the web or open heavy files with Premiere pro or RAW photo files with my photoshop i get clicks and pops, which by logic indicates that the system is not powerful enough to do both things . . but it worked fine before! and i could live with this if it was only in Heavy program use but it even happens in Chrome, i mean i can't put some music on youtube and surf along the way . . it clicks and pops when opening new pages.
I have tried 3 different soundcards External and Internal USB and PCI - All the same
Checked all the settings in the sound control panel, disabled all enhancements and tried switching play mode from 48khz - 41khz - All the Same
I just reinstalled my windows and all the drivers are new and updated - All the same
Since it was doing it when writing/reading files (temp internet files or cache in programs) i thought it might be an issue with the HD or SSD so i ran benchmarks and checked health - all the same
I thought it might be not enough room for cache files so i fired up photoshop changed the cache writing to a different Disk and Freed up space on the SSD leaving it with 40gb free space - All the Same.
I'm pretty lost here . . i think i tried everything, what can be causing this ?!
Help! and thanks in advance !
