I think that's just how latencymon tests the CPU to get consistency. Nothing to do with the actual 4.20GHz.
I don't think my PC would even turn on if that was the case. :D

Try disabling your internet. I find this was the issue on one of my computers. Then I have another where it doesn't matter at all. Every machine and audio driver seems different. I do seem to remember people having drop out issues with Roland Quads, been a few threads you might try to find them using Google. try searching Roland Quad capture Sonar. 

Yes, this is exactly what I've been thinking. I will try disabling my internet later. My Roland Quad Capture is highly suspect as well. The drivers haven't been updated since 2015. I wonder if that's a thing people do if a company has abandoned their product, maybe one should switch to a more dedicated brand? Especially, since my computer's hardware, and OS so different from then.
 
Thanks for your input. 

I have an external ethernet WiFi adapter that seems to work just fine without affecting internal latency. This was recommended by the system builder and I haven't had any trouble running projects at 24/96. Apparently, an external device moves all of the communication processing off of the CPU.

The only problem I have with that statement, is that my computer is an absolute beast, and I shouldn't be experiencing these problems at all, as far CPU power is concerned. However, I did order a new external sound card, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen), which will reduce latency by 5 times, so they claim. Not only that, Focusrite regularly updates their drivers. It looks like my Roland Quad Capture has been totally abandoned. Roland doesn't own Cakewalk anymore, so maybe Gibson guitars is going to release something soon, if they haven't already.

I would never buy an interface that was not independent of the DAW I am using. There are so many reliable audio interfaces available right now. If it were me, I'd buy an RME...

RME is too expensive.

Actually Tascam is now affiliated indirectly as both Sonar and Tascam are owned by Gibson. 
And you will see that Tascam makes interfaces at the same price point as Scarletts. I like the looks of the Tascam 2x2 over the 2i2 because it has MIDI and comes with external power supply. It really depends on what features you would like or need. 
I think it's a wise move to upgrade. And ya, your computer is certainly capable. You should not be having issues. 
 
And as I have said about the network, some can and  some can't be on line it's really system  to system.

RME is too expensive.

I don't understand that logic at all. Why spend $2000 on a beast of a machine and then hamper it with a cheap interface? A good, reliable interface, with rock-solid drivers is worth every penny, plus all of the time saved in aggravation and troubleshooting.

RME is too expensive.

There's always 2nd hand. They are mostly built like tanks, and stable.
RME has great driver support, and release drivers compatible with old(er) devices.

You don't need a very expensive sound card to produce great music at broadcast quality. Also, this issue may not be soundcard related at all. All hardware manufacturers release new products, phase out old products and then stop supporting them completely. I've always used Focusrite over the years. They make some good gear. I have a Pro 40 which is pretty ancient now but still available new. There hasn't been a driver update for it for a while and that's probably because it works fine. I recently got an M-Audio Projectmix I/O for an absolute bargain on Ebay. No driver update for that since 2012 but works fine with Splat on windows 10 and gives me heaps of functionality with 8 decent mic pres. It also works as a makie controller in Premiere and After Effects too. It cost less than a new bottom of the range, single mic pre. Focusrite.
 
The moral of the story? Well, quite a few problems (especially crashes) are sound card related. But not all by any means. Some old, obsolete gear can be better than some new, up to date gear. You don't have to spend a fortune on gear to get the best results in the same way that you don't have to spend a fortune on hiring a top producer, engineer, and the best session musicians to crowd out your home studio and work on your track for you.

I had a Quad-Capture and experienced the same problem.  I switched to an RME Babyface and haven't looked back.  Is there a chance you might be able to borrow another interface and see if the issue persists?  If it is your interface there are a lot of other options that are less expensive than RME.
 
Good luck to you.
