EZ Drummer crashes my computer

[javadude54]

I’m not looking for help, just venting. I have tried several times to install and use EZ Drummer with Sonar X2 and each time it crashes my computer so that I have to use system restore just to be able to boot. I’ve been using VST instruments a long time and have never had this happen before. I don’t know what the problem is but I do know that I will never buy another Toontrack product.

Most people use these Excellent value and excellent working products from TT with little or no problems at all .
Did you update to latest versions before running and i hope you have at least 2 gig of ram if not more.

It’s difficult to believe that Sonar and EZDrummer are corrupting your install. Maybe Sonar X2 since it’s new has a bug?

List out the repro steps and exactly what happens…freeze, crash, blue screen, black screen/reboot, error message of any kind?

Have you checked the event log?

As many details as you can provide:
1. Operating system. 32 or 64 bit OS?
2. Soundcard you are using? Latest ASIO drivers?
3. Any odd hardware you are using.
4. Other plug-ins you are running at crash time.
5. Running anti-virus? Which one?
6. Do you get a crash with any other host? (Sonar x1 for instance)
7. Anything else you can think of

A crash of the OS is usually is indicative of a driver or hardware issue.

Good luck,

@javadude54:

As user fizbin writes; please provide more info. Without even knowing what computer, OS and hardware you’re using, it’s hard to help you get on track ASAP.

@markiss:
There’s nothing indicating it wouldn’t.
