I'm still convinced with the reported crashes and restarts that latency is not the primary problem.

Resplendence Latency Mon is very "unforgiving" and if there was a latency problem it would flag it. Any latency is a byproduct of the actual problem.

An internet friend that custom builds DAW PC's (and has movie and TV clients and some major recording studios) says Intel CPU is best for DAW's and what he only uses. He says AMD CPU"s are great for gaming and video production.
