I'm having the same thing happen with win7 Mixtrack Pro2. It's strange because the
load indicator on the left does not seem to be high when cpu light starts blinking. Mine
only lasts a few seconds though. My systems meets min requirements not as stout as op's
machine. Core2 @ 3400, 2gigs mem.

Hey ojgbagg27,
Thanks for your post, and thank you for your patience as we have been flat out here at Serato HQ. It sounds like your computer is struggling to power your controller along with the other devices that are plugged into your computer - hence the reason why the CPU light is flashing, as it serves as a warning to the DJ that the computer over working itself.
As a workaround, I would suggest that you use a USB powered HUB. From here, plug your controller directly into your computer, and then your other devices into your powered HUB. This should alleviate some pressure from your computer.
Let me know how you go with this, I have some other things you can try.
Cheers
Mak T

I'm already using a powered usb hub. I've tried it with and without hub. This is with no effects on, track playing on deck 2 and scratching on deck 1.

So with the powered hub and some updates on your computer, everything is running okay?
