"IGNORE CLICKS & POPS" - OFF
"DYNAMIC PLUG IN PROCESSING" - ON
Computer sleep mode- NEVER
Wifi- OFF
Click track- deleted.
I just bought an external hard drive and saved the session to it.
SOLUTIONS? 
Thank you.

I am not sure what instructions you are following exactly.
Start at the "help us help you" link up the top of every DUC page and go through standard troubleshooting and optimization steps.
You brought what exact make/model/spec external disk drive?
What exact model number/date code name is this iMac? What exact internal drive does it have? A Fusion drive?
Dynamic plugin processing should be off
Ignore errors should be checked--on (if trying to work around a problem), or unchecked--off (if trying to troubleshoot)
What is the input buffer size? Try increasing it to 1024. (I guess you mean it is already?)
Is Disk cache turned on? set it to a few GB and see
Done basic things like...
Trash prefs?
System should be fully optimized (not just WiFi off, do every last thing),
Remove third party plugins from the plugin folder looking to find bad plugins?
Disable plugins looking for denormalization bugs (esp. with Sansamp and DVERB and other plugins known to have this problem),
Problem only happening on one session?... try importing it into a clean session.
