Sometimes, large plugins can cause spikes in processor performance that can cause this erratic behavior.  Removing a few plugins (especially FFT, reverb, and maximizing plugins) can usually help.<br \/>&#8211; Defragmenting your hard drives.<br \/>&#8211; Removing or uninstalling any newly installed hardware, and\/or running msconfig on your system (detailed instructions are contained in Knowledgebase article #30058, under the &#8220;Startup Service\/Applications&#8221; section).<br \/>&#8211; Run a hard drive diagnostic tool.  Creation Station users can use Seatools (available at   http:\/\/www.seagate.com\/support\/seatools\/ ) for diagnostics.  Owners of other PC&#8217;s will have to check with the manufacturer of the hard drive(s) in thier PC.<br \/>&#8211; Run a RAM diagnostic tool.  All PC users can use memtest86+ to test their system RAM.  This test is available here:  http:\/\/www.memtest.org\/<br \/>&#8211; If all else fails, you can try to import your session data into a new session.  If the original session was corrupted, you can usually retrieve the data from it by moving it into a newly created session.  Check your DAW&#8217;s manual for steps on doing this.<\/p>\n<p>If all diagnostic tests pass, and importing session data does not help, please call Tech Support.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35746,34740,35996,35997],"storecat":[],"itemids":[20269,20327,20294,20286],"manufacturers":[33772],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the My plugins are suddenly taking a long time to load on my PC.
