Hello there! I’m a returning user to Cubase after some time. My laptop is a new Gateway w/ Realtek audio built in… 64 bit OS. Back when I got this thing for Christmas '13, I’d get, ONLY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, Windows updated answer to blue screens: said blue screen w/ a frowny face saying ‘we’re sorry, but windows has run into a problem and needs to reboot. We’re collecting information; if you would like to view this online later, copy down this code’ - I’m paraphrasing of course, but that’s about it. Mostly, even back then, my error was ‘driver_irql_not_less_or_equal igdkmd64.sys’. I didn’t start getting blue screens again, and this time by the TONS, until I started using Cubase Elements 7. I have no ASIO audio interface… I’m using Windows ‘Genereic ASIO interface’… the Avid (formerly M-Audio?) interface I used to have, the Mobile Pre USB died a long time ago so I’ve not been using it, obviously. I had installed originally both the 32 & 64-bit versions of Cubase… I know, rather pointless & stupid since I’m running a 64 bit version of Windows. Whenever I’d open the 32-bit version, almost IMMEDIATELY, Windows would throw up a blue screen and the machine would restart.
Since I’ve uninstalled the 32-bit verison, the blue screens happen less frequently but still happen. I want to continue using Cubase, but at the same time I don’t want there to come a day when this chingado maquina won’t boot up.
And yes, I can hear all the Macintosh users laughing their damned heads off. I doubt I’d’ve had this much trouble out of a MAC, but I have to work w/ what I’ve got, unfortunately… no MACINTOSH nor Yamaha MOTIF XS for me…
