Loose the external! Thats where my life of music is. Where do I store my music on my laptop without using all the storage space?

[Jester]

disabled your network adaptors? acpi controller etc?

my LIFE of music is on the external hard drive. Where would I store my music on my laptop without using all of my memory? Guess you learn every day.

[Jester]

its a process of elimination. that may not be your problem yet.

[dj koolaid]

acpi controller? whats that?

[Jester]

its the battery controller. that is the main cause of dpc spikes. you can either disable it or just remove the battery. This, and the network adaptors are a big cause of some ofn these issues mate.

[dj koolaid]

ok. Im going to try the usb cord first, sheilded case next, turn off searching for a network all together.

tracks get loaded into the ram once you load it to a deck. reading might cause it to skip (unless it's powered)

Yup, At home I play my tracks straight from the NAS - no issues.

What kind of laptops are you guys using? Memory? HDD?

[dj koolaid]

I looked up your computer smitten and if that sets the way.... I quit! No im going to see what happens from here. You guys are way ahead of me but im going to still go hard at it.
