====================================================================================

The Edirol PCR-800 is an excellent choice for musicians looking to take their studio production skills to the next level. However, like any electronic device, occasional issues can arise.

One common problem users have reported with the PCR 800 is that it suddenly turns off after a minute of use on Windows 10 machines. This article will guide you through some troubleshooting steps and potential solutions to resolve this issue.

Reasons for Sudden Shutdown

--------------------------

Before we dive into fixing the problem, let's first understand why your PCR-800 might be shutting down so abruptly:

1. Overheating: The PCR-800 is a powerful unit that can generate significant heat during prolonged use.

2. Power Supply Issues: If the power cord or connections are loose or damaged, it could cause sudden shutdowns.

Troubleshooting Steps

---------------------

### Step 1: Check for Loose Connections

1. Ensure all cables (power and audio) are securely connected to both your PCR-800 and computer.

2. Try plugging in different USB ports on the back of your PCR-800 as well as using a different power outlet.

### Step 2: Update Drivers

1. Go to 'Edirol's official website'(https://www.edi.com/).

2. Navigate to the 'Support' section and select your operating system (Windows 10 in this case).

3. Download and install the latest PCR-800 driver.

4. Restart both your computer and PCR-800 after installing new drivers.

### Step 3: Adjust Power Management Settings

1. Press Windows + X on your keyboard to open the Start menu.

2. Click 'Power Options.'

3. Select 'Choose what power plan do I want?' from the left-hand side panel.

4. Choose a balanced or high-performance power plan and save changes.

### Step 4: Disable Wake-on-USB

1. Press Windows + X again on your keyboard to open the Start menu.

2. Click 'Device Manager.'

3. Expand 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' in the Device Manager window.

4. Right-click on each USB Root Hub listed, then select Properties.

5. Uncheck both boxes under the Advanced tab: 'Allow this device to wake up the computer from hibernation' and 'Wake on Magic S2+.'

### Step 5: Check for Overheating

1. Ensure good airflow around your PCR-800 at all times during use.

Additional Tips

--------------

* Regularly clean dust out of your PCR-800's vents using a soft brush or compressed air can also help prevent overheating issues.
