Just about anything NI has had a long history of being rather fucked in 
terms of stability.

Battery has always been such a bastard for me that I have pretty much 
stopped using it altogether.

Aturia are not known for playing nice either.

The first thing I would do is take that stuff out and see how things 
behave.  I know that is not what you are hoping for but at least you 
will know who you should be yelling at.

Maybe.

Sounds like a decent amount of RAM I can't comment on quality, in fact 
I wish I knew of some independent study that could shed some light.

The sad fact is that not only audio cards but the interaction between 
audio cards in video cards can also be an unknown quantity and even 
plugins can conflict with video cards I believe.

I would take out all plugins first.

Sorry about that.
