Since the bakers are addressing the OP's issue...
 
Gambler's Fallacy?

I don't think it's ironic that a consumer grade computer is not always best suited to run a professional DAW application. 

 
I don't think its ironic at all for any "PC" to have audio issues running Windoze ... Thats why Im waiting for the Mac version.

In the meantime I'll just run my PC that has no audio issues with SONAR, Reaper, Studio One 3 Pro or Mixbus3/32C.
 
The only Mac I want is with "'N Cheese".

It looks like Keith responded to your case. If you have a dell computer the crash is likely caused by their backup utility.

Yes this turned out to be the problem. Removed the Dell backup program and am now running the latest Platinum update with no issues.  Thanks Keith and Noel for your attention.

While this may be the case, I have been running consumer grade machines with no issues for years.
 
Great quick support response from Cakewalk!

Until the Dell backup program (commercial bloatware) got in your way.

Of the first order.

ive run Sonar on consumer products before, but not until I've wiped the hard drive and done a few things.
but I must admit, the best luck ive had has been the custom built PC I made to do just one thing...
DAW work.

Thats funny bapu! Bad for your arteries (no, not the Mac) but funny none the less.

If you have any problem reports with crash dumps attached please list them here and we'll investigate them.

Noel, I wonder if you can take a quick look at these? Just need enough info to determine which plugin is the culprit. Lifetime subscriber here :-)

Both from the same project I'm working on. Had the client with me last night and there were several crashes which didn't get submitted.
 
Many thanks. (apologies for hijacking this post OP)
