DO NOT LET THE COMPUTER CONTROL YOUR CREATIVITY...we must fix your problem...I recommend you backup all the SONAR related stuff necessary like the "C:CAKEWALK CONTENT" AND THE "C:CAKEWALK PROJECTS" folders to another hard drive and then follow suggestion #3 of this thread...re-install windows and then re-install SONAR to fix your problem...IMHO. Good Luck! - Shawn

Me thinks Kadje5 is a very casual poster to this forum.   Joined 3/3/2014 and only has 2 post ? 

Maybe he's just shy.  I lurked for years before I started posting.

Did you SEE the TITLE of this THREAD !!!!...   shy ? doesn't sound like it.
his last post was 1 month ago claiming the same problem. rather than finish that thread. he just waited a month and started a new one with the same problem / different title.

Try downloading an app like Throttle Stop, which is a CPU throttling utility.  It has many features, but for this purpose, you only need it to see the current speed of your CPU.  Recently, I've started opening Throttle Stop whenever I'm getting weird audio glitches in Sonar, or my computer seems to be running slowly.  Often, when this happens, I find that my CPU is running at some crazy low speed.  Normally, my CPU runs around 3300Mhz, and Sonar purrs right along. Sometimes though, Windows will throttle my CPU down to 798Mhz for some reason, and I start getting poor performance and audio glitches in Sonar.  It may have something to do with Windows power management settings.  I'm still looking into it.
 
FYI, you can also use this software to stop Windows from throttling your CPU.  This can make for more stable performance in some programs.

The pc OP uses is: HP 500-017c with AB-5500 accelerated processor, 8 GB DDR3 system memory, 1TB hard drive.
Got a PM with the specs. Will ask about his AI.
All the best.
