System lockup!!! Delta 1010lt and 410 CEP 2.0

[lenMCHC]

Hey everyone, I don't generally ask questions here, but I have a serious problem.

I am running:
Celeron (p4 based) 2gig
Asus SIS board
768mb Kingston ram
30 gig and 40 gig 7200rpm western dig. HD's
Delta 410 and 1010LT

Everytime I am in the middle of a recording session, after a little while the computer locks up during playback or record. and causes me to have to push the reset button. Alas CEP2.0 is good in that it saves the sessions last temp files, so i can restart and get back to business, BUT it is annoying to have to do that all day long. Basicly, it doesn't matter how many tracks, but it seems to happen more often on songs with more than 2 or 3 tracks going @ once. SO mixing drums which are tracked in 6 spots, plus 4 guitar tracks, 2 bass tracks, and various vocal tracks seems in surmountable. Can anyone offer me some advice on where to look? Is it latency? is it buffer memory? is it just the sheisty Celeron? I know that the ASUS board is decent, and the ram is decent. Maybe it's my harddrives?

On a side note.
I was running just the 410 alone for a while, and i could run 10x as many tracks with NO glitches. so maybe it might be the result of running two cards...

Thanks for any help you can offer

This is something hard to answer, it could be anything. If the software just stops recording or playing then it could be the latency issue and if you set the buffer a little high you can get rid of it, but here you are telling your computer hangs up in the middle of a process, so this could be a driver conflict, try reinstalling the driver (get updates if available) Your ram is good enough, but celeron is a little danger next time go for pentium. If you have 15GB free in harddrives they are good to go too. Good Luck man.
