Are your samples installed to a SSD? If not it might be a failing HDD.
WIndows 10 can work fine but if you want to get the most out of whatever hardware you have then a stripped Windows7 is going to be better.
For comparison:
I also have a xeon - make sure all power saving features are turned off in the Bios and it is manually set to it's max clock speed.
Unplug everything else that is connected via usb/firewire etc and rerun your tests/project.
I have been working @ 96k for years without issues as have many others.
I'm mobile now and out until tomorrow but looking forward to trying this.
Hard drives are setup as followed:
250gb SSD Boot Drive
1tb SSD Samples (at least my everyday samples)
4tb HDD for applications photos etc
8 x 500gb HDD in RAID 10 that is over flow for my sample libraries
24TB HDD NAS for project storage
6 x 3tb glyph rackmounted drives for travel
I have a lot of USB/fire equipment plugged in so eliminating all that will and adding things back in 1 at a time would be a benefit.
I need to comb the BIOS and make sure I don't have anything set up or default to power management.
Sounds like tomorrow's project,
Thanks,
Kevin
