    Hello,

    how is it crashing, does it hang, do you get a blue screen or what exactly happens?

    The length of time you mention, my first thought was memory leak. If a plugin or process is improperly managing memory, over time this leads to too many resources being used and can cause crashes. Tracking down a memory leak could take a while.

    I'm interested to know the crash behavior as much as @Uwe303 mentioned.

    Hey, Thanks for the quick responses . The program just stops .Freezes and the laptop also freezes so the only option is a shutdown and restart. There are no crash logs so its not tracktor its the laptop

    Does the program stop or does the whole computer stop (no menus, unable to bring up the task manager, etc). Does cont-alt-delete reboot the PC? Freezing can mean LOTS of different things.

    Whole computer. So only option is restarting.

    As far as I know the s4 mk3 needs a power supply. So an s4 mk4 if it will be released will most likely need a power supply too. Or maybe I understand you somehow wrong.

    S4 is powerd with NI Power supply , the laptop has a 65 w Power supply and the program was fine for over a year . It just froze midset and had to be rebooted , no commands would work . took full 2 mins to back up but that's a long time to a packed venue . Laptop warrenty just ended a month ago …
