 I'm available if you need assistance.

OT: Just wondering, do you offer a paid recommendation service? Like I want to make it so my system runs at max efficiency for Sonar and maybe a couple other specific DAWs with the equipment I already have (or make some calculated, cost effective investments like an extra HDD or other simple stuff). I built this thing on my own a few years ago and I think I did alright but it was my first build and I am no tech (I've cobbled together all my info willy nilly from the intertubes).
 
I'm kind of thinking of something like I send the basic specs, some info of what all I'm trying to accomplish/how I work. Then you ask me for whatever details you need to dig into the specifics (and how I find that info if it's digging in strange scary places I usually avoid like the registry). I provide that and then you put together a "to do" list.
 
Or however it is you do this stuff (if at all). Just curious because I want to maybe do a complete overhaul and set it all up properly for audio. I tried to buy the best stuff that was out at the time (within reason) so I think it's all still pretty decent for another few years.
 
Cost?
 
I'm not having any major problems like the OP here but I'm pretty sure this thing isn't humming along as best it could and I'm very interested in learning the most I can about this system because I'm going to be stuck with it for a long time.

It's both.
Finally the event viewer.. we get to see what it is.
 
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\VstScan.exe c:\program files\softube\plug-ins vst aax 64-bit\Resources\Console 1 SSL SL 4000 E-Series Compressor.dll
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Applications\WavesQtLibs_4.8.2_Win32_Release\WavesQtLibs_4.8.2_Win32_Release.MANIFEST..

First thing to do is stop using 32 bit Waves plugins and start using 64 bit (update to latest version). Try to go completely 64 bit. There's also something weird going on with the Console 1 SSL SL 4000 E-Series Compressor. Update the plugin, try running Sonar as administrator. Otherwise you are going to need to be contacting their support.


Assumed you already tried this...

I forgot to say again... Run windows update everywhere as well. It's pretty clear these plugins are at fault I wouldn't look anywhere else unless there are more errors in the event viewer we haven't seen. At least we can stop guessing now. This may end up getting resolved or at least support can now be contacted as there is now something to point to.

It does not look like hardware.

Hi Beepster,
I consult with many clients.
You can shoot me a PM or Email... so we're not spamming the forums.

Cool, man. I will do that when I'm a little closer to doing it all. Thanks.
 
Again, to the OP... sorry for the threadjack. Good luck with fixing your issue. Does definitely sounds like your system is going wonky somehow. Platinum is working pretty darned good here FWIW.

For informational purposes, Jim Roseberry built this computer. I took delivery Jan 2013. This is my second build from Jim. He is a straightforward person who has been a great asset in the past.
 
Regarding Slate VST plugs. I received a pleasant note from Paul Hessing  at Slate first thing this morning. He sent me specific instructions to remove the Slate VST's  and a link to a new win installer build for slate that may help any issues there.

If overclocking..?.Speed step and VT in bios on or off?...((advise given , to stop overclocking is best first to do))
 
To do Digital Audio/video...from my perspective, one should never overclock the cpu, or memory, or devices,/clocks..and tweaking the Bios is a must do... so no speed step or VT is on or used while doing.....Must should be ""disabled""...And any redundant devices turned off ..>In BOIS< So no holders in windows are made, and or reserved for IrQ's by Windows....which helps free up the raster and drive loading at boot...and perhaps services for.
 
So...If this is a possible reality with the OP....Setup is a must do, to get stability on most systems, with all parties playing along those ideas/clock speeds/ and such with/ cpu time outs hanging, and some chance of bad or weak parts that might not take to overclocking well...(audio cards)...less problems arise.
 
Just saying , like some others have said...Just to make sure...it is done..the setup....right, before the trouble shooting starts...results in less hair loss!.
 
 
Cheers!

Sorry but how the frig does this relate to the windows event viewer messages :)
And it looks like he bought the PC from a hardware tweaker anyway (who looks like may know what he's doing)...
 
Cheers..

Hope you get it working soon. Please come back and tell us the result.
Best of luck.

What!  Now you tell me.   If you remove my hat in the picture of me.... totally bald. :)

Event viewer is saying something is wrong with X Y Z...Does not say what is causing it to crash completely?...And if what is linked to the pc for XYZ to work correctly..(when bought, was working with older or less updated WINDOWS)(But has been since receiving updates))..speed step or vt causing issues with some of those vowels perhaps?...
 
Is it going to say in event viewer that speed step or vt or overclocking, or bad memory conflicts due to a cycle hiccup is causing it to crash, or some irq sharing while all the above have been not set or reset, or updating changed, once setup by the manufacturer as stable once burnt in, and stablized by them.////Once...Updating windows, and  updating Drivers, there after ""will work with those setting set to enabled in the Bios, and or overclocked by the manufacturer, will continue with the new owner and new updates and drivers as working for long periods of time, after being sold, and updated continually with those specs and setup if so bought with them enabled, will cause the cpu and or other parts to not work as designed in some cases....
 
.I think not, setup it up right, Plane and simple, then install...for the reasons needed the system for....Then things work better, with less Event views to view.....enough said?...or does this person get all kinds of Issues with Plugins/software issues, and crashes, one saying x, one saying y...another say z...as one after another pop up, and are yanked out.... and not solve em, only remove, and get the latest?..first by doing some setup to help it work smoothly from the get go might make it all work without events period.....Perhaps?....
 
Just saying...before hand.
 
And if this system was overclocked for x amount of time, or speed step was on, with vt, and it was not causing issues when bought, yet is now......Surely things with the cpu working if it ever overheated, and caused a flaw with Something in the cpu, or other devices...could cause all kinds of events to be written and logged!
 
That is why I posted....
Be well...stay cool!
