Aye. There seem to be issues with certain plugins and their compatibility with 32/64 bit.
A good idea might be to just temporarily remove all plugins and see if the problem still occurs.
Because it happens under specific circumstances, it's probably safe to rule out hardware issues I guess.
It's hardly going to be overheating/bad memory/etc.
but then, stranger things have happened,lol.
I was hoping I could get in the studio before I posted this reply, but unfortunately I probably won't have time to until Tuesday.
Anyway.
Yeah, I would assume if it were a computer hardware issue, it wouldn't have just happened in cubase while dealing with reaktor and freezing. That's what it was both times, and the computer was on for different amounts of time both times.
So hopefully the fact that it happened with reaktor,freezing and cubase twice isn't just a strange coincidence
The first time the computer was on for about 30/40 min. and I just opened cubase, messed around with some synths, recorded the part, started freezing and unfreezing and trying to get familiar with the function and then it happened.
The second time (during which it was on for probably 2-4 hours) I left the room and ran a scan with avast(no probs detected). Then came back and messed with reaktor and maschine with a friend. We were recording and deleting things and putting plugins on the recorded stuff. Then I froze the track. Then unfroze it. Then went to do something else with it and *blue screen*.
After that it was on for about 3 hours again. Recorded some more Reaktor stuff (didnt have maschine or kontakt or anything else open this time though). I saved it. Listened back to it. Then closed cubase and was on youtube for hours.
No blue screen. Browsed fine. Recorded fine. YouTubed fine. Turned it off. Played some Xbox and went to sleep.
I suppose I'll have to delete Maschine, and Komplete Elements. I'm not sure if those two programs had 32/64 options. But if they did I'm pretty sure I probably clicked 64. At least with deleting and re-installing I can be sure. Also, that way, while those programs are off the computer I can just record some spoken word or something and trying freezing that and loading it with plugins or whatever to see if it happens that way too.
Although it's a PITA it's always better IMO to do a full reinstall after a major upgrade (CPU) ram should go without a problem although there are compatability issues between different brand sticks.
Back to basics and do process of ellimination
Sleep first tho!!!
yeah I made sure that these parts would be compatible with the motherboard. The new RAM is actually the same brand as the original RAM (Kingston).
So reinstall the entire OS as in full factory restore? or just DAW stuff?
If you just put the new RAM and CPU in replacement of the last ones [I assume you mean on the same motherboard], then it could be that the BIOS is still set for the old stuff. Newer stuff doesn't need as much power going to it and have different timings and frequencies they work at.
If you got a tech to do the switch for you, I'd imagine they would sort that out themselves though.
Yeah, same motherboard. I did the switch myself.
What do I need to do about the BIOS stuff
) at a part where we start pressing keys over the original sustained note we started the tracks with its starts cutting out. Like weird buffering or something.
