stutter/freeze

Hey guys,

Bought more RAM today to solve this problem but it didn't help..

All of a sudden my projects in Ableton started stuttering, even the project I just started without any effects yet.
I tried installing the ASIO4ALL driver which didn't work. Now I use MME/DirectX. I tried all the buffersizes but nothing seems to help.

I have a fairly new computer, Windows 7 64bit. 12 RAM and an i7 processor.
Was buying the extra RAM not necessary? I thought the problem would be solved by adding some extra RAM but it's still the same, the only thing it did was making the pc a little bit faster.

Also, sorry for posting a new topic about this but all the others didn't help me at all.

Best wishes,
Eline

what exactly is stuttering?

midi? audio? what does the cpu meter read?

thanks for the fast reply!

By stuttering I mean the sound stops all the time and then continues, as if I used some stutter effect.
CPU is around 15-20

I just started creating this track so I just used a lead and a bass.
The first bit goes well, without stuttering (so only the lead is playing), but when the bass comes in, the sound just stops and continues all the time.
When I press stop, the last note just keeps playing and I can't stop it unless I close the program.

Sometimes Ableton just crashes and shuts down, then I hear this loud noise (loud, long beep) and it won't stop unless I turn my computer off..

Cant offer a solution but in Windows Ableton will only access 3GB of RAM....

Cheers

ah okay thats clears things up a bit.

well, I tried cleaning out my Library but still nothing seems to work.

MME/DirectX works but then I have the ''stutter problem''
ASIO4ALl and ASIO V2.0 don't give sound at all.

well then, does anyone else know?

Edit: could it be stuttering because I have my speakers in the headphones on the front of my ESI U 46XL instead of going through the line in at the back?

Sounds like a soundcard/driver issue?
