Hi,
I am having a really weird issue where my PC is running rather slow, and often gets crackles and pops in audio. This is bad, because my PC is a digital audio workstation, so I need it running at top performance. I've run latency mon, and found many different drivers over 1 MS (including usbport.sys, ntoskrnl, and more that I can't remember off the top of my head), and there's never any constant as to which pop up at the top of the list. I removed my wifi adapter at the recommendation of a website I read, and that made it alot better, but it's still not good at all, by any stretch of the imagination. I can post the output of latency mon later, but right now I don't have time to look on the pc itself.
Specs: Intel I7-2600 3.4 GHz (overclocked to 3.8 GHz), 24 GB ddr3 1600 MHz ram, samsung 500 GB ssd, seagate 500 GB and 1 TB regular Hdd (ssd is my OS drive), and intel dp67bg motherboard. It's interesting to note (though possibly not relevant) that speccy shows my ram as 797.8 MHz, when it's definitely not.
Anyway, was just posting to see if anyone had an idea as to where to look to troubleshoot this beast.
Thanks,
-Michael.
