BSOD 32 bit memory related
I'm getting a BSOD predictably, but not every single time. I'm using an audio recording program - Sonar Platinum. It has a 32 bit and a 64 bit version. I'm in the process of shifting over to 64 bit, yet sometime I still need to open a project in 32 bit. The BSOD never happens with the 64 bit only 32 bit. 32 bit can only access 4 gig of Mem and I have 16 Gigs of Mem. So it appears that it's Mem related.
When the 32 bit program opens I can watch the memory from the TaskManager and watch it go from about 1,.2 to 3.5 and eventually settle to 3.1. The BSOD always happens when it gets very close to 3.5. But it doesn't happen every single time.
Yesterday it did it crashed 4x in a row, each time I rebooted and waited for the hour glasses to go away and then open the program - it crashed. Then I turned off and turned back on my MOTO AVB audio interface, which stays on all the time normally. I then booted the computer 3x and each time opening the program - no crashes. So it seems to be related to the AVB.
When I open this program I have it programed to open to the template, if I try to change this, it changes for both 32 and 64 bit. I did find out if I open to a template with less memory use, it doesn’t crash.
What I'm hoping is how can I make Win 10 less fickle about memory like Win 8.1 was. With Win 8.1 this never happened. No crashes on opening the 32 bit program. I think this is memory related. I tried to optimize my system to reduce memory and feel I['m about as low as I can go form what I understand.
