Updates: As in make sure all automatic updates are turned off on your computer. One coming on suddenly in the background can screw up computer performance. I recommend the control computer be configured per the "Black Viper" custom configuration for process elections.
Static: Caused by a grounding issue. If your machine isn't properly grounded it needs to be. If it is, go through the connections and make sure they are all still good.
