Well I have been having problems lately making it thru the whole night without a restart. Everything if fine fout 3 hours,then I starting getting distortion and/or jittered sound when load a track to a player while another is already playing. Then deck 2 distorts have way thru a song a continues till a completely reboot the computer. Deck 1 tonight worked fine all night but both decks have done the distortion thin

If something is happening on a regular basis and after a roughly similar period of time, and a restart cures it, then I'd say you need to be looking in 3 areas.
1 Is it a heat problem? Are you monitoring your CPU for temperature? Do you have enough cooling?
2 Swap File? Try using a nice big fixed swap file. On my gig PC I have the swapfile fixed at 3 gig! The reason being, I work through 3 hard drives and only the OS and VDJ are on one 80 gig drive giving LOTS of free space. At a fixed size of 3 gig, I'm not wasting any space and I know at 3 gig it's WAY big enough.
3 Memory, probably not a memory problem BUT, I'd add another 512 stick, if the problem is still occuring I'd try removing the old stick and leaving the new one in place, if that cures it then the first 512 was faulty. Memory errors can show themselves in lots of ways. And if it isn't a memory error, your system will certainly benefit from the extra 512.

I think it's the RAM and also you need to optimze your system deleting all temp files (Also all Internet Explorer cache files) an doing a defrag to your hard disk.
Good Luck!
