Try version Xfer.Records.Serum.v1.30B1

 

Thank you all guyz for your support ... In fact I install the script and even if it not resolve the freezing it really help to speed my computer and I have less loading time in ableton with my plug ins ... I definitly going to save money this month for buy a new cpu at first and the next month a MB and so on ..
I have see i5 is affordable but AMD provide better speed for the same price
what do you think about AMD for DAW??? I don't see a lot of people using AMD but it seems that they improve over time

 

Yep. More channels and plugs for your money . B550 and X570 chipsets have pci-e gen 4, Intel is still on pci-e gen 3 , although this will change next year most likely.

 

Try set your pagefile to 3072 mb for 2x of your least busy HDs, empty for the rest, try your apps, and tell me if it feels faster. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-pagefile-windows-10,36929.html

Also, disabling Hyperthreading in your BIOS may help.

There's no need for a new CPU, I'm still working on a Core i7 920 (1st gen from 2008) with almost no problems.
What you need is an SSD - it will speed up your whole system dramatically.

What you can do without the SSD is simple:
Defragment your OS Disk using some good software (I recommend O&O Defrag Pro).

Some basics (made a quick pic):



When you have an HDD, in the beginning it will be nice and clean. You add an OS and some files
and everything is still nice and clean. But after some time you decide to delete some of the files
and that will create little gaps (free space) on the silicium platter. When you now add new files,
these files will be written into these gaps of free space.

As an example: You delete 10 small files and add 1 big file. That file will find its place in the 10 small
gaps - that's called fragmentation (the red bits). On your OS you'll see it as one file but on the platter it has 10
fragments which will be read everytime you access that file.

Over the time more and more files will become fragmented and your HDD gets more and more work to do.

By defragmenting, all your fragmented files will be merged into single and consistant file blocks on the platter
which costs much less time to read them.



Now to the technical side.
An HDD uses a little reading arm which moves to each position to read the needed data.
In case of the fragmented file, it moves 10 times (each after another) until the reading is completed
and it does that for every single file you load up.
Lets say Explorer.exe got updated a lot of times which results into a lot of fragments on the platter.
To load up that process, it takes more and more time because the little arm has to move multiple times.

By defragmenting, you can bypass these movements and the explorer loads up fast again.


When it now comes to an SSD, it doesn't matter how much fragments the file has because the SSD controller
doesn't access each fragment after another, it accesses all the files and fragments simultaneously.
That's the difference between HDD's and SSD's and that's what lets you load up your system and every process
as fast as possible at any time.


So my suggestion is: save some money for an SSD (they aren't that expensive anymore and you can get a 1TB one
for under 100€) and until then, use a defragmentation tool to clean up your disk.

Btw, O&O Defrag Pro even allows you to run a background process that places every file without fragments on the platter
which the built in windows defragmentation tool doesn't.

And there's another tool called SSD Migration kit, which allows you to clone your OS from the HDD to an SSD.
Normally you would have to install a new OS to the SSD as copy and paste of a whole system doesn't work that easy
and makes your SSD slow.

 

To me, it looks like either your system drive or one of your other HDDs is playing up. Depending on the drive controller, a compromised HDD can sometimes impact generally in windows.

Run some disk diagnostics, such as CrystalDiskInfo on your HDDs. If any errors turn-up, disconnect the offending HDD then boot into windows and do some surfing, fire-up ableton etc. If this fixes the freezes, at least you'll know where the problem lies.

In any event, even a cheap £30 240Gb SSD would improve system performance. As others have also noted, windows 7 on your current hw setup might also yield performance improvements, if only because reliable drivers for some of your kit don't exist for windows 10.
