audio engine stopping with new system firewire blackbird onyx

I finally built my new system   I am little disappointed so far.  I know I need to tweak it more but I have had the audio engine
stop on me a bunch of times.  I am using a vantec firewire card with a TI chipset.   the mackie blackbird control has a dpc checker.  It recommends that I run it safe mode 2!!!   Using a buffer size of 128 and running it in lowest latency mode seems to trigger the problem.  
    I have done some tweaking to my system.  I used this as my guideline.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P
With blackbird control set at 128 and lowest latency I was doing a simple one track stereo recording, no plug ins, the audio engine stopped several times.  I had to set the blackbird to normal and buffer to 256.  sonar platinum reports roudtrip latency at 13.2 ms with those settings.  Shouldn't I be able to get it much faster than that?!!
