Drop-outs


I've just set up my first PC hifi rig. Not bad. I'm getting sporadic "drop-outs" (music cuts out for split seconds and comes back on its own). What is most likely cause?

-website
-DAC (I use USB-only Kingrex)
-PC
-something else

Ideas?

My problem is that I don't know what programs are necessary and which ones aren't. I have turned off everything at "startup" that I am familiar with, but I don't recognize a lot of what is running in the background.

How does one know which ones can be either turned off at startup, or uninstalled? I’m using a Netbook as a dedicated server for network streaming, so I could care less about anything that is not absolutely necessary for operation...

Thanks,
