Hello...
Shutting off Disk Cache in Sonar 6 pro made a big difference for me as to clicks & pops... As you are getting yellow and red peaks in DPC Checker... not good... What are the numbers you are getting?
Here are my suggested steps... please record the numbers...
1) You can use MSCONFIG command to start your Windows software version with just the basic drivers... And basic software ( Need to manually uncheck these boxes... adobe...etc )... Run DPC CHECKER.
2) Disable all hardware in your BIOS you do not need... USB, Sound Card, Network Card... just the connections for your DAW hardware/software... Run DPC CHECKER.
3) Turn off all power saving features in your BIOS and Windows software version... Run DPC CHECKER.
Do your spikes disappear??? in any of these steps??? you can now turn items back on one at a time to find the reason... My network card in Windows XP does my 1400 spikes... I DON't need it turned on for my DAW sessions... My USB ports give me a peak of 165 from 85 only, in Windows 7 64x
Have a Great Audio Life...
