mk3 is buggy with many problems !!! :(

Hi Motu,
I'm a user of motu for years and have mk3.
I reinstalled on a new laptop and some old problems return and again some new:
1 - I cannot get any signal flowing through Cue Mix, I've set focus to the channels, but whatever I try, there's nu signal sign coming out of the software, nor does it affect the signal or volumes etc. It does work because I can select the headphones from the menu.
How can I fix this, I already reinstalled or even downgraded to the older version of the driver. No use...
2 - Seems that the ASIO driver has lots of bugs, sometimes crackels happen after a while (on my previous laptop). I recently discovered that the synth VST I use gave also crackles, so I complained the developper. I installed ASIO4ALL, and my problems are gone with that driver !!!! Only way I can get the motu driver working is by setting to 1024 latency. All lower gives crackles. I'm not even sure it affects the latency time,feels like the same respons time to me, the low or high settings...
3 - Old ghost problem reapears: After a while USB port 1 at the right is shut off, motu is still recognised as driver in de DAW but the DAW doesnt wanna play...
Switching to USB2 on the left solves the trick (all right usb don't work anymore). Strange enough: this is a new laptop and that problem was on the old one also!!! Only way to resolve this is to reinstall windows or restore to a point before the prob.
This way the soundcard is unreliable on stage, worse, it's unusable! I cannot change the settings or asio driver gives problems.
My config:
- downloaded latest motu drivers
- w10 i7-3820qm 16 Gb ram
Please urgently help!
I need to rely on my motu on stage.
