loopMIDI not working with new installation

Current configuration:
Been using windows 8 64 since the beginning for this audio computer.
Sonar 8.5.3, SX2, loopMIDI, loopBe,...   working fine
Upgraded to 8.1, and then 8.1.1, and all other updates.   ALL STILL OK.
 
Had an issue with windows a couple of months ago. Appears to be working fine. But lost a bunch of start-wall icons and other shortcuts. I have a link on the desktop to the "real" start menu folder. But not sure what may not work when I need it to.
 
So, starting the new disk , clean install, process.
 
Installed w8, 8.1. 8.1.1 and all updates.
Installed Office 2013.  (I use excel for audio stuff: lyrics, configuration, serial numbers,....)
Installed Sonar 6 - X2 : want to make sure all the plugs I use are present.
Installed third party stuff: Ozone, CD architect, Kantos,....
All appear to be working OK.
I installed loopBe and miditools,...   OK.
Installed loopMIDI: no errors.  Created 4 loopmidi ports. OK.
 
BUTTTTTT:::::  when I enable more than one loopmidi port in sonar the machine immediately restarts. Happens with 8.5.3, X1, X2
 
'Tis sad cuz I do use more than one midi pipe in some projects.
 
Could be a conflict with the EMU interface.
 
No crash dumps as it happens without pause.
 
Sent a message to the loopMIDI dude.
 
Any other ideas?  
 
Replacements?   Purchase loopbe 30? Other?

    Download and run a copy of WhoCrashed. It might give you an idea of which program is causing Windows to bugcheck.

    No dumps. Computer just restarts.
     
    So WhoCrashed is silent upon the issue.

    Bummer! It's probably a hardware problem then, memory would be my first guess but really could be anything from bad sectors on hdd to power supply. Try several different memory checkers. I have had them pass one only to fail on a different one. If it's a brand name pc run the on-board diags. Also check that the cpu cooling is still seated properly. Good Luck to you.

    Have you tried the other similar program, LoopBe1?  Google it and download it; try and see if it also cause the crash.  I use LoopBe1 sometimes instad of Loopmidi.  Just a thought.

    Thanks for the thoughts.
     
    The computer runs fine when booting from the current OS installation/disk.
     
    And it works fine booted from the new disk for all other installed programs (word, excel cd architect,...), including sonar, until I enable the 2nd loopmidi port.
     
    Am using loopbe. Works fine, as does the hardware midi ports.
     
    Just another obstacle on the road to utopia.
     
    If it wasn't for Loki, all would be well.

    Sorry--I did not see that you already had LoopBe1.  Still, I hope you report back on how this gets  resolved.
