He's actually a systems hardware specialist working in implementing systems in hospitals and formerly for GE for the wind turbines worldwide. His builds (4 over the years) have been rock solid.
Also, this computer runs PT at very fast speeds with very low CPU usage. That said, I will explore this further. Incidentally, for the past 5 years of so, I would get this crunchy distortion on audio input recording if I left the system running for over a day or so. I have now changed my firewire cable and it appears to be resolved. Still in the wait and see mode. And again, thanks much for taking your time to respond so thoughtfully and thoroughly. Oh..and BTW, just purchased a PreSonus Quantum 2626 26x26 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface from Sweetwater. I hope it connects ok with my USB-C slot on my computer. I'm eager to see how this runs.

Firewire cables can cause strange things, and problems like this that happen after some period of use can be caused by lots of things, and be hard to show they have been fixed. One additional question is are you careful to make sure your system does not suspend/sleep, you've disable power management etc. as part of the systems optimization?
There is no way to know if any problems you are seeing is related to the memory in the system, but just nobody should be building systems with memory not on a VQL, and certainly not with timing that is not on a VQL. The only correct response when you point this out to them should be "oh we screwed up and will replace that with something on the VQL.".
