[:@] SONAR X1d BLUE SCREEN

BSOD's are generally hardware related ie drivers. Make sure your laptop has the latest drivers for ALL components (audio, video, chipset etc).

Wow...

I bet I could make it work... with very little effort.

I have built many systems from scratch and never had the problem you are blogging.

Whenever people come with these kind of situations, I just want to lay my hands on their computer like it is that sweet woman that drives me crazy.

I know that when I make contact, all will be well and absolutely heavenly.

In summary, I want to f... your computer.

... lol

You've been using Sonar since version 5 and have been having BSODs for over a year and your just joining the forum now? Dude, these guys could have figured out your problem AGES ago. Cake support is great but they can't know everything about every system. People here have Sonar installed on all sorts of wacky systems with wacky devices. Anyway, there is no reason Sonar should be giving you the BSOD. I've done horrendous things to many computers over the years and have NEVER gotten a BSOD. It just doesn't make sense. What other hardware/programs/etc have you transferred over to the laptop? How did you install Sonar? Did you install and configure Windows yourself?

Hi guys, 

sorry but your answers are not completely right, I´m no superman but experienced things over the years.

Software CAN cause Blue Screens, when it has incompabilities with hardware.
We had it here with Samplitude, which caused BSOD´s like crazy, while Cubase was running fine on that very same machine!

Reason for that was, that Samplitude had a problem with UAD2, and could not properly talk to that card.

Sonar is a bit picky with plug ins and hardware as well, so you´ll have to check things out.
For example, unplug your Octacapture and run Sonar with ASIO 4all on the native I/O of the laptop.

If it runs fine, there´s a problem with the interface.

Most of the times, when BSOD´s are related to hardware, it´s a memory failure, so run memtest and check your memory..

For me since X1 expanded, things are very stable here, can´t remember my last crash..

Good luck

My next step,  just to find where the issue is,  would be to try to get Sonar to work with a different sound card.  Perhaps use the onboard sound card just to see if Sonar will run.  I know you won't have good performance results,  but you might be able to determine if the issue is a driver with the Octa-Capture.

Good luck!  I know it is awful and fustrating running down these problems.  We should be making music , right!  I feel for you. 

Yes, maybe he should just use the English version. but if other languages ​​are available for the installation is that it has been verified by Cakewalk.

Regional settings can have unexpected impact. Even when the install is English! I have many customers in English-speaking Canada who've found that life is easier if they just set their workstations to US English - although you'd think the differences between US and Canadian English would be trivial. Even some of my French-speaking Canadian users do the same.

However, every locale-specific problem I've ever seen has been at the application level. I have never heard of a bluescreen being cured by changing regional settings. More likely, it was the re-installation of Windows that did the trick.
