Hey Acidshell,

Thanks for getting in touch,

Before I can start the troubleshooting process I need to gather some further information off you.

1. Can you send me your full computer specs please?
-- RIGHT-click your MY COMPUTER icon and select PROPERTIES.
-- Copy this information back here.

2. Are you using any external hard drives to organise your music?
-- How big is the external drive?
-- How much free space is available?

3. Are you using any other USB devices?

Thanks :)

Hi Jamie cheers for the reply.

I managed to get it working, although dont know if it will happen again.

Heres what I did to get it working
I removed Itch(And the old Database folders), Serato DJ, and VCI380 Driver. Then ran regedit and searched for serato in the registry and removed all entries except for the Ableton Live 9 references. Then rebooted. and installed the VCI driver, then Serato DJ, and worked. I also tried a different USB cable. I tried so many combinations of installing in different orders, and different processes that its difficult to say which one worked.

I thought it might have something to do with my new AMD processor but now thatits working I know its not the Processsor or RAM.

I use an external Hard Drive but not for anything related to Serato. I keep Serato and My music on my normal PC's Hard drive, as I have a RAID 0 array on it so its quick enough to handle it.

My laptop worked fine but i didnt have itch on it previously.

Hey Acidshell,

Nice work resolving your issue!



It possibly could be the processor. The strange thing with AMD processors is they can work for a while with no issues at all, then issues can start happening.
I would suggest you read through this AMD statement from us (just so you are aware of the issues they can cause) --> serato.com

I would recommend the following when you want to use Serato DJ.

1. Remove all USB devices besides your VCI380.
2. Always connect your VCi380 directly to your computers USB port.
3. Disconnect your external drive when running Serato DJ.
-- This will take abit of pressure off your CPU(even though its not being used by SDJ).
-- It wont have to index the drive while its connected.
4. Make sure wifi / bluetooth is turned off.

Since the issue is now resolved I will close this thread.

If you ever have any other questions or issues please feel free to get in contact with us :)

Thanks.
