Eric, if you still can't solve this, perhaps two utilities will give more clues.

First, get and run Geekbench and report your score. It measures relative computer power.

Second, along the lines of Mac's post, get and run the DPC Latency Checker and make sure your system is OK for audio. The program has great instructions on their website.
