I can't make a mix longer than 55 minutes

I need to vent. Its not a matter of skill, karma will literally NOT LET me make a mix longer than 55 minutes. I was recording a mix the other night and my White Label decides to start to buzz, so I stop recording. Pick it up today and its fine, so I give it another go. Guess what? The computer restarts. For no reason I wish I could've kicked the plug out of the wall or something so it at least would have been my fault and I wouldn't be reminded that karma has kicked me in the nutsack yet again. Oh yeah, I nearly threw my discman accross the room when the thing started to skip as I was in the middle of a transition, nothing pisses me off more than fucked up electronics I paid good money for. Now I can see why a DJ at Ultra 6 lit his CDJ1000 on fire because it was skipping.

If I had CDJ1000s I wouldn't set em on fire either, not unless I was Sasha and had money coming out of my ass.

Computers don't restart "for no reason."

Check PSU and RAM, maybe driver conflicts.

You were using a discman to DJ?

Yep - this is really strange. Playing with a discman is just touching the crossfader...

the power supply and ram may also lead to random restarts as well. so can a mobo w/ a poped capacitor. But it's still can be the os.
