Yah, same with mine, ive had it for about 6 months now, it crashed once, and
that was because of a midi feedback loop.
I was a beta tester for past Machinedrum OS's and not a single one of them
has had any issues like the ones your describing
Definitely contact elektron...it probably has some hardware problems.

I know you don't want to hear this but i've had my MD for a couple
of months now and it's never crashed, so i doubt it's a software
thing. I have it hooked up to a Roland MC80 sequencer, works
fine here.
