Lots of crashes with Producer X2. One more upgrade, or switch DAWs?

I've been using Producer X2, and experiencing regular program crashes.   I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a machine with 16g of RAM, SSD HD for the program and a separate internal HD for data.  7 core processor, Roland Octa-Capture interface, and running with a minimized operating system (non-essential startup stuff disabled).  I've been using Sonar since version 8, and while there are tons of new bells and whistles being added with each version, the frequent crashes are really killing the creative process, and I'm trying to decide whether to try one more upgrade, or write Sonar off as a learning experience and switch to something else.  Has anyone had any LESS trouble with Producer X3 than X2?

Thanks for your post, petgod! I'm hoping for something that will install and run right, without a bunch of fiddling around with ini files, playing with my registry, leaving my computer vulnerable to attacks, and making it useless for any other kind of work.  Hope the gamble pays off for you!
 
Cheers,
 
Rick

Thanks for the input on the plugins.  I guess I could locate all of the 32 bit plugins that came with Sonar and disable them?
 

Rick ....x2 ran near perfect here ..When is the last time you took the laptop to its support page ?

@petgod1 - I repeat my offer to help you with whatever your problems are.  I still do not quite understand why you posted under the other thread, then chose not to engage, even after several folks said they would help.
 
In any case, the offer stands - just please post each issue as a distinct thread, so they don't get mixed up.
 
I had a stable X1, X2, and X3 - folks with major problems seemed to have them largely due to 32-bit plugins in 64-bit Sonar, and various driver or system problems.
 
There were certainly bugs, and still are, but not really widespread crashes.
 
To the OP here - lots of folks will help you with anything that pops up.  It's a good forum full of good folks.
 
X3d has been one of the best releases I can ever remember, and there will be at least one more maintenance release coming - in March.

Once again, thanks for the reply Bob. The reason that I posted here was that whatever I tried, I could not get back to my original posts? I haven't asked for any help yet as I am waiting for X3 to arrive and will get up and running with that and then no doubt will have a few questions for this forum. In reply to the previous post, unfortunately our ADSL speeds in South Africa are so slow and our costs are so high that I steer clear of large downloads. I was happy to pay the extra to have the X3 discs couriered to Johannesburg. Needs must etc.
Thanks, Pete.

@petgod1 - yeah, I could not get to those earlier posts of yours either, for some reason - quite weird.  Thanks for the explanation.
 
I would suggest that if there are non-Sonar causes to your X2 troubles, such as 32-bit plugins and such, these problems may well still occur in X3, so I STILL highly recommend you post each X2 issue as a separate thread, so that we can get some of that figured out and resolved.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this, or you may get quickly frustrated with X3, potentially needlessly, and lose more time, potentially needlessly.  
 
@MarkieMark - can you post your issues as distinct threads too?  Maybe there are some workarounds or resolutions to those that we can find for you.
 
We are eager to help, if you guys post your specific issues so that we can try.  :)

Thanks Bob. One issue was with clip dragging which I'm sure I've seen mentioned before and I'm hoping that this is one thing that has been sorted with X3. It's more eratic with multiple tracks that seem to just drop randomly onto other tracks or one single clip that, when dropped, will hide itself under another track.
Cheers, Pete.

Rick: Jon here ... Im willing to go over your system..with you, and there are many here who will help you.. we all understand and respect your position (I'm just an amateur)...so log on.. il do driver updates ..power management ..
and Usb power settings in device manager ! Proper system setup is key to a good running system ! see you soon !

Thanks, Jon! Where to start? 
 
Will put up another post in this thread with some Sonar errors from Event Viewer.  Thanks, Alex!

Check your event viewer,

 
paste Sonar related errors here by clicking the red exclamation mark icon -> Copy -> Copy Details as text.
 
 

 
Alex,
 
Here are a few.  I see a couple of specific plugins on a couple of these, but can't tell anything specific about the others.  Any ideas?
 
Thanks!
 
Rick
