Reply to Random Freeze

Hi everyone,

I purchased a Sony VAIO E serie (EB1M1E/BJ) and Traktor Scratch Duo with the Audio 4 DJ. And i've got a Vestax VCI-100 (firmware 1.1 i guess).

The problem is that the laptop randomly locks up when i use it.

After a fresh install of Seven 64 bits (i mean = without Sony bloatwares) there is no problem at all. Then i install traktor, drivers, plug the VCI etc. And *bim random FREEZE*. Mouse, keyboard, screen are locked. I have to reboot mannualy and have the "Windows Kernel Power Error" in the event log of Seven.

Sometimes it works for 1 hour, sometimes a freeze after 3 mins.

Ar first i thought it was the audio4dj or a drivers problem but i tried everything, optimisations, disable any kind of power saving mode, unused peripherals disabled..., even with my M-audio 410 and a express card, i have this problem (but it sounds good when it works !).

Sometimes it freezes at windows logon, even it the soundcard or vestax are unplugged !

My temperatures are good, and the system is running well, tested with a OCCT during 1 hour without probs.

Things i haven't test is to upgrade the realtek drivers and the HDD firmware. I saw it on an another community . Should i try with a windows XP ?
