Are you using a notebook? Does it have a speedstep CPU? (most do)

Try turning off the speedstep. It is in your bios under the power tab labled EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep) Set to disabled. The M-Audio software AND hardware has trouble playing in the same sandbox with speedstep. My guess is you probably crossed some kind of threshhold when you made some system changes.
