On Staurday night I did a private show (9:30pm to 1:30am) in a hot garage (95 degrees) and Hoster did not stop even once! It was very hot Saturday in North Carolina (99 before the sun set) and I was only using a the USB cooling fan mounted under my laptop.
This tells me I definitely don't have Laptop heat problem. And, if I "am" having a software problem, why didn't it stop any more Thursday and why didn't it stop at all under the very hot conditions Saturday night? (Rhetorical question, I guess)
Go figure...

Hey Kod, just wanted to put in my 2 cents, maybe it'll help. I've had problems with power at one of my venues, and what happens is Hoster freezes up when you hit play. The song stays on "cue". I have three power strips with lots of equipment plugged into all three. The power strips are all connected to each other with the last one in line plugging into the wall. What I did was isolate the power strip that my computer plugs into from the other power strips, and plug that into the wall by itself, and the 2 other strips are plugged into another outlet. That has cleared my freezing problem up. I found that power coming from the outlet must be on the low side, because just last week I put a visualization on the display that was very intricate and intense and it worked fine until I went to play, and it froze up again. I was able to take the visualization out after a few tries and replaced it with another one that wasn't as intricate and Hoster worked fine. That tells me that it's got to be power, especially since I had major problems with power before I moved to this side of the bar. The owner checked the outlet where I used to set up, and he said power was very low, so he rewired and fixed that outlet but where I moved to, they're still the same ones. One other thing I have found is if you press a button, and then press another one too quickly, it will freeze Hoster. Case in point. I have a singer that came up to sing and I gave him the mic. I started to play the song but he wasn't ready so I hit stop. That froze Hoster, and I had to restart Hoster and then it was fine. This has happened to me on a few occasions, and that also includes hitting an instabutton and then hitting another button. If this is what's happening to you, slow down on hitting the next button. Hopefully this helps.
