BTW, what is your operating system (Win 7, 8.1, 10)?


Win 7 64 bit

Have you done any of the basic PC "tweaks" for DAW use (Like disabling power-saving in the BIOS and O.S., start-up apps, etc.)?
 
Also, run the free DPC Latency Checker to see if any processes are causing problems.

No!
I usually end processes while working. But I haven't changed any settings from BIOS or else where

OK, but before we go down that road, I suggest you run the DPC Latency checker just to see if it flags anything obvious.

Ok this is the result: 
This machine should be able to handle real-time streaming of audio and/or video data without drop-outs

Upgrade to a SSD and use your other drives for storage.   You will have 4TB of storage.

I just noticed that your buffer size is 256.  Basically the lower you set this, the better the latency, but it puts more demands on your system.  Try 512 and see what happens.

SSD for windows or VSTs or projects? But my friends don't use SSD and don't have problems

Now question is that why windows freezes when I unplug sound card ? Even if Sonar or other DAW is not open?

I suspect there's a process running tied to the interface -- likely the driver software.  If so, you can probably just kill the process before unplugging the interface, so it won't bring down Windows.  (Go to Task manager for that).
