What are you doing when it crashes? The more specific you can get the easier to figure it out.
The slow start at the first I have a feeling is the computer has to get the "shared" memory setup when you start playing the first song because the video doesn't have enough dedicated memory. I don't think there is much you can do about that one.

At it's first show it lasted 20 minutes of everything working fine and the host had to go to 3.4 to finish the show the music and lyrics were out of sync. In testing at home it worked fine for 2 hours before having out of sync problems. I have mostly Soundchoice songs and there is no out of sync problem with the Sound Choice, the out of synce problem once it starts seems to be only with DKKaraoke music.

Once the out of sync starts is it all songs or just DK?
Did your host play a DK song at the 20 minute mark causing the out of sync at that point in time?
Do DK songs always show out of sync? If you play one first does it play in sync or out of sync?
What I am thinking is HEAT is causing this. Do you use a cooling pad with your laptops? Have the laptops ever been cleaned internally?
DK Karaoke has always been a problem with the sync to some degree because the way they do their graphics is different from everybody else. MTU has tweaked this several times for those because of that.
