Yes I have updated to 8.5.3, but I am currently using 8.0.2 for projects. 8.5.3 doesn't like something about our system and we have had constant dropouts and crashes, so i just avoid it and use 8.0.2. thanks.

FWIW, dropouts can usually be managed, fixed.  Crashes too, but if you are getting crashes, it would help to have as much detail as possible.  Error messages, types of crash, etc, can be useful in debugging the problems and working to a resolution.
 
More often than not, audio and video drivers are suspects.  Memory is next.  CPU overheating, power supplies are also suspects.  But through a systematic approach, a deductive approach, things can usually get resolved.

Thanks, but I've been down this road before and I would rather just stay with 8.0.2, it is stable and i have very few problems with it, but thanks for the help. we really just use sonar as a tape machine with benefits.

my specs are below this time FWIW

System Specs are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz 1333Mhz/12MB L2
4 GB DDR 2 RAM
Win XP 32bit SP3

UAD-1 PCIe
MOTU PCI424 with 2x 2408MK3 and 1x 2408 MK1, MOTU Microlite, Lucid Gen6x WC

Well, as the old saying goes:  "Whatever works."   However, if there are features/fixes in 8.5.3 you would benefit from, then it might be useful to try to debug and solve the problems so you can have those benefits.
