@ jester, where do i find the acpi.sys to disable it, ive had a look in device manager and its showing acpi fixed feature button, acpi lid, acpi power button and acpi thermal zone, all of these are in the system devices dropdown and in computer i have acpi x64 based pc, im guessing its none of the above, a tad lost??
EDIT: just seen the post by mixer miyagi, and its got me thinking, (all of this thinking after no sleep is gonna kill me!) im using a behringer bcd3000 controller, although i havent had any problems ive heard that the soundcards in them arent that great, do you think that running it on asio4all drivers as opposed to the behringer ones will help any??

Don't worry about disabling acpi.sys, just try creating a power profile with all power saving (especially to to USB ports) disabled, that should sort it out.

hi jack, thanks for the input, i have created a high power plan but didnt do the usb, ive just done it so will see if it makes any difference, however i have read up on the acpi.sys and would still like to give it a try, i mean its gotta be worth a bash, where do i find it to disable it?

Go to control panel > power settings > change plan settings > advanced settings. Disable USB power suspend. This will keep max power flowing through the ports at all time. Also, under processor power management, set both the minimum processor state and maximum processor state to 100%. I'm no expert but I think this should keep both cores running at the same time.
Also, if you haven't already, go to start and type in systempropertiesperformance. Check Adjust for best performance. This will make your comp look like windows 95 but frees up a lot of cpu. Also, go to start, type in msconfig, go to the tab that says startup, and disable any startup program you don't need. This also frees up cpu.
Also, what sound card/controller are you using? I've had to contact NI support multiple times for help with the Audio 8, that thing is nothing but problems haha

cheers ryry, ive done all of that too but didnt know how to set the processor %ages like you said, ive now done it so fingers crossed, ive got to go grab a few hours sleep, back at work in 4 hours, if anyone else can think of anything, please just post it here, i will be most grateful, and will try as soon as i get up.... once again this forum was the first place i turned for help and get nothing but quality answers, cheers guys.

Is your cpu meter in traktor actually maxing? If not it might be something else...
-
@ alex, the cpu meter is only reading about 5%

ok so ive been trying to get to the bottom of this and have done a scan with latency mon, here is a link to the scan page:
https://docs.google.com/document/pub...1GEIfF1RmkFKI4
im still none the wiser, the only thing that is giving me pagefaults is one of the svchost.exe files, and im still getting dropouts, i have now uninstalled ABSOLUTELY everything that doesnt need to be on the lappy, and disabled everything that doesnt need to be running, set cpu settings to 100% latency up / down / wherever, all of the steps that everyone has suggested and its still happening!! any other ideas guys??

You've definitely disabled all power management features/wifi and you're definitely using a USB 2 port?

I'm going to say that it's NOT your computer running out of power, if that wasn't evident already. Check the programs that are running in the background, they may be interfering. Also, do a spyware and virus scan.
