And can you explain a little bit clearer as to what you are actually experiencing and the lead up to it? Please include as much detail as possible... For example:

You leave the I3 computer on all the time but let it go into sleep/suspend mode. When you want to listen to music, you wake the machine and turn on the D150. As soon as the D150 turns on, the computer blue screens and reboots itself. When the machine is back into Windows 10, I no longer have sound.... etc....

There are lots of variables here so need to try to eliminate as many as possible so we know what we are dealing with.

A shorter cable really isn't possible given the location of the gear, but point noted. With the D150 attached, crashes are random. Although I have gotten in the habit of waking the PC from sleep only after turning on the D150, I have left it off as well. Crashes occur both ways. If you do experience a crash, after the computer restarts, sometimes it won't get you to the blue log-n screen, just keeps restarting and giving you the option of Start Windows Normally, Start Windows in Safe Mode, etc. Other times, it will get you to the log-in screen and you can log-in and all appears well. But it still crashes.

Typically, if I experience such a crash, I can unplug the D150, reboot, and then immediately upon plugging in the D150 the PC will crash again.

Right now, it's unplugged as I'm not using it. Window 7 Professional.
