anyone recorded hi-track count live sessions with Sonar lately?

title says it ... @ 96 kHz I should add
 
I'm having big issues that some of the takes written to disk contain errors (digital artefacts). It's totally random and does not happen very often, but it makes the entire system unreliable.  When it happens it affects all tracks, not just a single channel, but seems more audible in channels with higher level / bigger transients.
 
I tested against so many possible causes (audio drivers, buffers, different interface of same make, PC, USB ports, DC offset, MMCSS, ... you name it) and the problem still occurs.
 
And ... so far I could not get Mixbus to show the same problem ... Sonar 2016.09 to 2016.11 all do, though ... which makes Sonar the common denominator???
 
Ideas?

    I have a dedicated Samsung Atom(!) Win XP 32bit netbook with Sonar 8.5.3 on it and have a Tascam 1641 and a Tascam 1800 connected at the same time over ASIO4All. That is 28 channels recording at the same time, live shows that last over an hour.
     
    The only thing I need to do is realign the tracks of one of the machines which always has a delay. But the delay is identical for all tracks, so it's quickly done.

    I suspect this might be related to the win10 update/old cakewalk code issue. For the last two weeks I've been getting crashes, driver failures, crackling… on a three month old previously rock solid win10 installation. I almost bought a new interface… now I'm waiting for cw to resolve this. Another ms nightmare…

    It actually might, yet I can't put my finger on it. One thing I know for sure is that it hit me quite hard during a recording session on Nov 12 - 13 ... the month before we did a lot of pre-production work building track templates / using same track count / routing / mics and all seemed fine ... since then it keeps rearing its ugly head ...
