hey there everyone, i'm brand new to this forum. and so far it looks like quite the place.

So, i recently got a new laptop, and acer aspire 7720z. got a pretty killer deal on it, too. I an amature music producer, so i've already uploaded various programs for music production on it, and installed all my external hardware. everything has been working fine untill just the other day. i've been using an asio driver running through my mixer, using lots of high performance programs, and its been working fine. but just the other day my driver (or atleast, i think my driver is to blame) started spontaneously overloading. at 4100Hz, it works for a little while, then it just makes a horrible cracking noise, then audio kicks out (though the monitor shows audio peaked). and at 4800Hz it works for about 15-30seconds then either the left or right channel starts a horrible buzzing noise, later followed by the other channel making the same noise.
i've spent all day troubleshooting, with no prevail. so ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Since I have removed those bloating programs such as NAV 2008 (I use AVG75 instead) which consume much system resources, my Acer Aspire 5610 laptop is running as fast as it should be. May be you would like to remove those background programs and install one of music production programs one at a time, debug, test a project and see it better.
