It just stops

Recently I've had instances when the playback will just stop at a certain point for no apparent reason.  No matter where I start play, it will always stop at the same place.  As I recall, the first time it happened I could fix it by deleting a track or undoing a V Vocal clip creation.
 
Today it happened while recording.  I had done several takes with no problem; when I did the next one it stopped right before measure 14.  I would undo, record again, and every time it would stop there.  If I just played back, it would go past that spot with no problem.  I closed the project, exited Sonar, opened Sonar again, and it still did it.  Talk about maddening!
 
I had been using Sonar X1b for a few months but this just started a couple weeks ago.  I think it's only happened on these two pieces.  Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hi Tim,
 
If you're using V-vocal, try freezing that track/s.
Does this resolve the problem?
 

Thanks for the response.  I don't think I did that in the earlier instance, but the piece I was working on today isn't using V Vocal.
 
However, after posting I went back to Sonar and tried again, and this time it behaved itself.  I'm grateful but still puzzeled.
 
I'm grasping at straws here, but in order to record without distorting, I have to disable the Wireless Network Adapter.  I wonder if enabling it to go online and then disabling it again to go back to Sonar could have anything to do with it.

Hi Tim,

I was working on a large project yesterday and the same thing happened to me. My project started stopping at the same exact spot every time after I froze Session Drummer 3.

It turned out that the HDD I have my audio data on is getting full and I hadn't noticed. I deleted some stuff and all was well.

I've read that it's best to keep your HDD below 50% full. Mine was at 65% and started choking so there must be some truth to it? It's an old HDD, not sure if this effects newer/faster ones.

Hope this helps.

Bub.
