I don't see how it could take out the computer but it can really screw things up. Out of nowhere one of my machines started locking up. I had no idea why when everything was running fine. So I reboot and it doesn't even get past POST. I try everything with no luck and on a fit of frustration yank my 2 week old NEW CM15A out. Boots right up. I plug it back in once windows loads and it sees it but cant start the device. When I reboot with it plugged in, same problem. Luckily I had a second interface that was reconditioned. It's cheaper to get the stupid AH plugins as part of a whole package so I just ordered another copy of AH. The second interface worked fine. What happened to the first one?? Can I send it back for a replacement in case this becomes a trend
.. guess I'll keep a spare....
