Thanks for everyone's help. I have a few mixes on youtube and I going to be adding more soon. My youtube page is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfRLgPTdqOkchXpm3djva_w

I took it to a computer specialist and I had an SSD installed and I still have my old hard drive. Traktor and my music are on the SSD and all my other files are on the old drive. The SSD is really fast and the computer people said that having Traktor on the SSD would probably stop there being any performance issues as the SSD is fast. Also, they cleaned up the laptop and changed the settings for maximum performance. So far I haven't had any problems but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Thanks for the advice, I will get the monitor programs and watch the temp but if the laptop was overheating, wouldn't the problem have happened more than once? After I shut off tractor pro and restarted it, the problem didn't happened again whereas I would have thought that if the laptop was overheating, the problem would happened again when I restarted traktor pro.

Hi, I have a problem but I'm not sure what the problem is or how to fix it. I was DJing on the weekend for 6 hours and I encountered a problem I haven't had happen before. I have a traktor kontrol s4 mk 3 that goes through trator pro 3 that is on my hp laptop which is an I core 7 with 16gb ram. About 2/3 of the way through the set, the music just shut off and the software became unresponsive. I closed the program and restarted it and continued playing and the problem didn't happen again but that fact it happened at all bugs me. Given that after I shut off the program and restarted it, everything worked fine again, my thoughts are that maybe the program froze because there were too many process going on but I'm not sure as I'm not computer savvy. I've taken the laptop to a computer service shop and they servicing the machine to improve performance but what if that doesn't work or what if that wasn't the problem in the first place? Has anyone encountered this problem before and how was it fixed? I'm sorry the message is vague but I can't think of how to explain it in any more detail. If anyone can offer me advice, that would be much appreciated. Mark
