It is fairly easy to verify the integrity of the computer hardware. You will need two programs:

1. Memtest86 - This is available on the install disk for Arch Linux. You don't need to install Arch, just boot the Arch install disk and select memtest. It will run from the CD rom. The purpose of this program is to test the system's memory. Let it run through 5 or so loops. It will take 24 hours or so. This test doesn't even use Windows so a failure here is always HW or BIOS settings.
2. Prime95 - Once you establish that Memtest86 passes, download Prime95 and run the stability test. Select "Blend" and let it run at least 24 hours.

If those two tests pass, it is unlikely you have a computer HW problem. Yes, it is quite possible that both your desktop and new laptop could fail the above tests - buying quality computers these days is tricky. If you pass 1 and 2 above, your HW is ok. If you do not, stop and remedy that first. I don't use a new PC or laptop without it passing 1 and 2 above.

And, as the others suggested, if Windows Defender is the only thing you are running perhaps stop running it. People reporting they don't have a problem is useful information - extending that to concluding therefore you shouldn't be isn't so useful. There is a lot of variation in PC setups. Perhaps AIM will be willing to screen share with you or maybe try capturing a video of it off your monitor?

Good luck

I don't have a ton of experience with RS2 so i could be way off base here - could it be related to the files you're working with? Maybe try using files from someone else and see if it still crashes? Could be that your aim hardware (or removable SD if you're using one) could be causing this.

Thanks for all your responses and suggestions.

I suspect that there's a corrupted AiM file that is causing all these problems. But that's just my guess.

I emailed AiM a few days ago but have gotten no response at all so far.

I've been in contact with AiM's office in Lake Elsinore, CA.
They don't know why RS2 is crashing. They said they will contact a software programmer in their company.

I'm still in contact with AiM Lake Elsinore. They still can't figure out what the issue is with their software crashing. They also can't tell me why I'm unable to uninstall RS2 off my computers.

Considering all the issues I've all with AiM, I've come to the obvious conclusion that the company has problems. They just don't have their **** together. When I first bought my EVO data logger, my dealer promised that I would be able to watch my data and video at the same time. I stipulated that I absolutely needed to be able to do this, and it's what I had been doing with my Traqmate. He knew this wasn't true, but apparently he thought AiM was just about to release a new RS capable of doing that. Two years later and they still haven't been able to provide data/video integration. That's telling.

I just bought a basic Racelogic data logger. No issues so far. Easy to use. I've gone back to using my Go Pro, which offers better video and sound quality than my Smarty Cam anyway.

Complete opposite experience of what I had. Started with a Traqmate and all worked fine with GoPro's. Changed to new camera's and a flash of an upgrade to the Traqmate and it never worked right again. Reached out to the company at the the time and they didn't know why. Every time the car went over 120MPH on track it would suddenly register the car was doing 360mph for a split second and timing was all off. Changed a bunch of stuff they suggested at my cost and it never got better. Then Windows 10 and their software stopped working. Then they went out of business.

Bought an MXG and all has been great. Yes it doesn't do side by side video, but I would say that Traqmate also didn't do it very well, so I don't feel like I lost anything there. I don't use SmartyCam's so had no issue there. I use GoPro's and almost have the AIM dash turning them on and off.

Sorry you've had so much trouble, but it sounds like you have found a solution to your data problems. That is most important.

If the dealer told you something that wasn't true, that's on them, not AiM. Some dealers are more upfront, honest, and knowledgeable that others. Guys on this forum like Jerry and Peter (and I'd like to think myself) are the cream of the crop.

Here at Stable Energies, we are not only sell via phone orders and through our e commerce site, but also have a retail brick and mortar store here in Northern New Jersey.
We also have a full service race shop on the premises as well and have done many AiM product installations as well.
As with all the other dealers, we are awaiting the first shipment of Solo2's and have many on preorder.
It would be wise to get one on order asap!

To PM through the phone app, I believe you have to click on the person's name and then you can message them. I think you'll find all the dealers are eagerly awaiting the Solo 2 DL. Most, it not all of us, have the Solo 2 in stock.
