Windows 8 Displaylink Software

I have a Sony laptop (full specs around the bottom) with an AMD Radeon HD 6630M, sitting on a docking station plugged with 3 DisplayLink USB to DVI adapters connected to 3 screens in 1920*1200 in portrait mode. It's an i7, and I've added memory making it 12 Gigs, so I thought it'd be fine.

Anyway, I'm a web developper, and when I use Java apps such as Netbeans with long scripting pages and/or I do large mySQL imports I have my screen turning black very often, and reappearing after 5 secs, with an error message 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered' like in this question. After a while it's really bothering. Considering the number of USB devices, I wondered if it couldn't be a power shortage problem but I have no clue how to test that.

I have turned off anti-virus/malware softwares, it didn't solve the problem.

You can see Disk 99%, but I get to 20MB/s or more when I do a file transfer

It's SSD and there is no paging file for Windows. (problem remains when if there is one)

Any help would be wonderful.
