Vegas stops working after 20 mins.

What happened:
I tried to copy 2 Tracks from DAT through a Mixtreme card
into Vegas. After about 20 minutes, the clock stopped
working, after a short time, the tracks were overwritten in
red, showing no waveform anymore. The harddisc still showed
activity. After hitting the stop button, the harddisc
stopped working and the computer locked up completely. Only
power cycling could bring him to live again. Looking into
explorer showed a .wav file with correct size, but this file
was unreadable.
I repeated the whole setup again, no problems. Next two
tracks: same problem again, reboot, retry: same problem.

Environment: Pentium III 550Mhz, 128Mb Memory, Asus P2BF
mainboard, Soundscape Mixtreme with add'tl SP/DIF,
Digidesign Audiomedia III, 27 GB HD IDE, 45 GB HD SCSI.
Matrox Millenium 16mb G200. Hauppauge Video Card, Symbios
Logic SCSI Controller, HP CD Writer, CD-Rom
No other applications except temperature monotoring running.

Hi, I've had some problems with Mixtreme and Vegas too...in fact I
got Mixtreme to send me another which seems to be better but now to
confuse things I'm having Sync/MTC problems with Beta 3 which I've
been checking out. Peter H. is getting a Mixtreme to test with
Vegas. My suggestion with your Mixtreme is to be very thorough in
setting Window multimedia prefs to make sure it's not in conflict
with say your Audiomedia card. Are you trying to use both for I/O?
I don't think it likes that (which should be addressed by Soundscape)
so you may have to disable the Wav driver for the Audiomedia. I've
tried two different soundcards (SBlive and A3d) just to be able to
have a CD audio input and MPU-401 Midi I/O and I sure had problems
with the first Mixtreme...the replacement seems to be okay with
SBlive now.
