This is PURE GOLD, thank you so much.
I was never able to solve this problem before. I had another PC and had random BSODs when using POD HD and any DAW.
Now Im using a new PC, and I was hoping not to have BSOD again, but it was the same thing.
Your method worked like a dream to me. I'm using Cakewalk by Bandland, and I followed the same steps but for Cakewalk.
In Cakewalk, it was at 44100 hz, and changed it to 48000 hz. But this setup is for new project only, I tried working on a old project and a BSOD occured inmediately. Then I opened new projects and not even a single BSOD so far.
I set everything to 48000 hz as your steps say, and I can confirm POD HD was at 44.1 kHz before. Changed it for 48khz.
Guitar gods bless you.
Thank you.
