Hi,
Please ensure you have all of the latest driver and software updates available for your PC.
I would recommend using the DPC latency checker to check if any hardware is degrading your systems performance.
Download:

It works by scanning for any latency, IRQ conflicts or other issues.
To use the software run ITCH and run audio then load DPC.
You will be shown a bar graph , GREEN (SAFE) Yellow (Caution) Red (Dropouts)
You will also be given a report of any conflicting hardware or software.
Here's the list of basic tweaks you should also try.
* Switch off Bluetooth.
* Switch off wireless network and unplug any wired network connections.
* Switch off screen saver and set sleep mode to 'never'.
* Make sure your hard drive doesn't have a sleep mode selected.
* Calibrate your USB buffer setting. Start with the USB buffer slider at the hard right position, and slowly move it as far to the left as you can before you notice any audio interruptions or loss of performance. Ideally you will want the lowest buffer setting possible.
* Ensure you have ample room left on your hard drive (this is approximately a minimum of 10% of your hard drive capacity - both internal and external).
* Close down any other software, including antivirus software or the like.
