<<<I am using tape out on the mixer to mic/line-in >>>
Probably not. Most Windows Laptops have a delicate, sensitive Microphone-In, expecting a really tiny, weak signal from a mono microphone. Your mixer is producing a massive, powerful, stereo line signal which is destroying your computer.
Many Windows Laptop users find it useful to buy an external USB sound card to do what you want.
