    Sounds like a software conflict causing the crash. I’d try a new laptop or reinstall windows and build up the software install from scratch. Here’s What I use and it is completely stable:
    Newish Gateway laptop with 6 Gb ram
    7 piece junk drumset converted to electronics with Pearl Tru Trac heads + a few Pinctec tube & duckie triggers
    Zildjian Gen16 Cymbals (because no software/module combination has nailed all the nuances of playing cymbals)
    Alesis TriggerIO (but your TD10 should work as well as my TriggerIO)
    PreSonus Audiobox 2×2 (Cheap and h as real ASIO)
    SD 2.0 with several EZX’s to expand the library
    VSThost and Bloxpander for hosting (keep going back and forth – both work well) – Superior and another VST I use to trigger loops and samples
    and I splurged on RNDI’s for cases where I have to plug into MIC inputs rather than line inputs on house mixers at a few venues.

    Check out the info pages for DAW manufacturers sites to optimize your laptop for realtime audio. I don’t load any other software on the one I use for performance. It may be overkill, but it prevents software conflicts and unknowingly introducing background tasks that increase latency to humanly discernible levels.

    I hope this helps. I can’t answer questions about equipment I don’t have. Most of the electronic bits I went the cheap route and was just careful to optimize a fresh OS install with what I need to perform and install nothing else other than a triggerIO config utility, a midi librarian and a few sound and midi tools like Midi-Ox.

    Peace, love and drums, Anne
