Default Pro Tools M-Audio 9 and Fasttrack Interface Not Working for Asus G73JW laptop

Hello,

I have spent a good amount of time trying to get my laptop to run pro tools, and its a nightmare. I checked all the specs before purchasing and was under the assumption that all would work without too many problems, but i was wrong.

I have gone through several trials, but these are the main problems i have right now:

-Pro Tools loads slowly, and sometimes will just freeze during startup or while a session is open.

-The audio interface (M-audio fast track Ultra 8r) constantly crashes the computer, resulting in a blue screen and me having to restart the computer over and over again.

the first issue i tried hard to resolve. I reformatted my computer, deleted all bloatware and set the computer up to specifically run pro tools only.

As for the interface...i have checked many threads online and i couldnt even tell you how many different things i have tried to stop that from happening...but its awful

Here are the specs for my laptop...i swear i checked everything, and its SUPPOSE to run pro tools, but maybe i missed a detail somewhere...
