In preferences under audio do you have the ASIO drivers selected?

I had the same problem with a similar computer - I think the drivers are crap. The only way I could get it to be usable was to decrease the buffers to the worst possible setting, so bad that you could hear the delay if you monitored the recording. It got worse and worse as I added more vsts to the project. Finally bought me a NI interface and am happy.
