Hope you have a great day,

I have not used this model so cannot help other than general info but these things are plug and play so you should not have any problems with levels provided you have selected the correct input option for your line in....you may be using a mic Lo setting instead of a line in Hi setting.
Your PC seems to be up to the job although Vista is the pits for music production...notorious for crashes and incompatability issues despite claims that a thing is Vista compatible. If problems with crashes continue you may have to reconfigure or find alternative drivers.....that can sometimes sort out these sort of bugs.
Here is a link to the driver download for your model and system
