The tool I linked to above, the DPC Latency Checker, is designed to check that a PC is powerful enough and configured correctly so that audio can run successfully. It runs on any Windows PC, and it is free. Did you try it?.

MIDI does not stress any computer. I can't imagine that, once it works at all, it would ever be a problem.
