sound still plays but wavs in region show flatline

2 problems, the first and foremost is that sometimes my pc suddendly restarts in the middle of a session for no apparent reason causing me to lose unsaved information. This major problems sometimes causes my second which is when the pc reboots and i try to open the file that i was working on during the crash, some of the wavs in the region do not appear, all i see is a flat line as if there was no wav but the audio still plays. I usually wouldn't mind since the audio still plays, however i can't make cuts and edits if i cant see the wavs in the regions. Any suggestions?

    The crash is causing the picture cache to be corrupted.. probably. You can wipe the contents of your picture cache folder and get Sonar to re-draw all the waveforms.

    The cause of the crash is the bigger problem. It's likely to be a device driver or something. Is there any trace of the crashes in the Windows event log? Hardware problems are tricky!

    I saw this when I did not have the AISO drivers installed for my first sounds card. I would check everything about your sounds drivers and their settings.

    yes, drivers first, then possibly overheating? (picture cache for the flat wavs)

    First RAM, then Drivers...

    Hey, RAM is the culprit of most crashes. Maybe if you configure your os for not to restart automatically after a crash you can see the "blue screen" and then probably you can detect your problem easier. By the way what is your os? sound card? etc

    in the advanced properties of My Computer you can turn off the auto-reboot, which will let you see the BSOD message

    what are the bsod messages? is that when you get the blue screen after a crash? also when it comes to my drivers, how can i fix the issue within my usb quattro settings if you're familiar with the quattro. Thanks for your help and if u have any other suggestions, id appreciate it!
