If I got you right you have a Dell? Which model?

Dells have a long history of some models with DPC latency issues. You can see a big spike after 1 to 5 secs. That spike is what causes this lockup. My friend had an XPS and I did every trick possible to fix it. He just ended up selling it ...

I am sorry if this is your case but it is a motherboard issue... use the DPC latency checker

and see if you have a big spike

This is by far the worst day that i've had in a couple of years.

And my P.O.S. dell with its DPC latency issues is the cherry on the cake...

I can't believe this ... I spent all this time and money on a laptop that works for absolute shit ...

This is terrible ...

I had gotten Ableton Live to run using the internal audio but anytime I attempted using the audio 4 DJ it would instantly crap out and freeze ... I also tried using the audio 4 just to run WINAMP and got the same issues.

I dont understand this completely ... first the audio 4 and now the audio 8 doesn't work either.

I've disabled all the universal serial bus controllers - the IEEE 1394 controller and the network card as well and i'm still getting spikes in the DPC program.

I actually wrote 2 pages of a song called "more? ... no ..."

It goes like this:

It would be so much easier if I just ... died
no more having to try
no needing to get by
no guilt from being affraid to fly
no sifting through lies , whys or tolerating situations and people that I fucking despise
no more fixing moody fucking computers or rewriting the wrongs of peoples reckless rumors

and it goes on and on and on ... lets just say its not been the best of days but writing it all down helped me flush the venom from my veins.

Now I have a new obstacle to tackle ... getting rid of this fucking computer.

awesome

ps. its a dell studio 1737 (17" version of the 1537)
