    Default Blue screen with Traktor Kontrol S2

    So i got an s2 a couple weeks ago and I have loved it. It's extremely fun and i love using it. My only issue is that after a certain amount of time with using it and usually at a moment where i'm touching a jog wheel. My laptop blue screens . I'm pretty sure its an issue with the s2 and my laptop not the actual s2. I'm really just posting here to see if anyone knows a fix or at least what exactly is causing the issue. My laptop is NOT top of the line. It is a refurbished latitude D620. It has 3.5 gigs of ram, Intel Dual core processor and runs the s2 and traktor without going into the red zone a lot. It hovers around what looks to be 25% cpu usage most of the time with it all plugged in and a song playing. If anybody has an idea on how to fix without buying a new laptop or at least can point me in the right direction of finding out how myself that would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!

    Some popular tips besides buying a MacBook Pro (joking) are to disable your wireless adapter and AntiVirus and increase the audio latency settings.

    Also, do a Google search for "optimize PC for Traktor" and see what people have to say. Your machine should be plenty powerful, but if there is a lot running in the background you could be in for a load of trouble..

    Honestly, if your computer is having issues as serious as a bluescreen, it's not worth trying to pinpoint the exact cause. You do NOT want to risk this during a performance.

    Back up all your data, reformat, and install the OS from scratch. Make sure you have the windows updates and have good drivers for all your hardware - oftentimes, the default ones that the OS provides are outdated. Then install Traktor and see if you continue having the issue.
