Bad Pool Header

I've been getting this BSOD lately. Its not mission critical; I can work around it, so it's mostly just very
annoying. I run SONAR X2a producer with an RME HDSPe AIO audio interface. If I open a browser and
play an audio file from any site (SoundCloud for example), then quit the browser and try opening X2, I
get the halt with a 0x22 param every time. The RME driver is current, and I've tried various browsers.
As you might guess, RME support says it must be a SONAR problem. That would be a logical choice though
because I can open any other program that would be trying to communicate with the audio card on
startup without any problem (Cubase, Mixbus, Soundforge, Kontakt, Melodyne, iTunes, WMP, etc.).
 
If anyone has an RME HDSPe card I would appreciate knowing if you can generate the blue screen. Just
pull up SoundCloud, play a file, then quit your browser and start X2. If I'm the only one with the problem,
I'll try reinstalling SONAR. Thanks in advance.

    They come into the shop once in a while and has been everything from bad sectors in the swap file to bad memory sticks and malware.
     
    Best of fortunes with that one. Maybe this will help.

    An address being freed does not have a tracking entry. This is usually because the call stack is trying to free a pointer that either has already been freed or was never allocated to begin with.
     
    Funny how it only seems to happen when we use SONAR
     
    I see this at least once a week and only when I am using SONAR
     
    Sorry only know of the single digit fix for this.

    Resetting or moving the swap file will rule that in or out before you pop the lid & test yr ram... Good luck!
