I think my system is more than ( 2 times roughly) ok for cubase. Yet it is slow as molasses (particularily when accessing VST instruments) and it starts systematically in safe mode (mentioning "freeze"as the cause). And once started it is most of the time impossible to close it other than by brute force (read ending the task in task manager).

this is the dumpfile ( I sent a few dozens with the “send” button in the popup window but these apparently get lost in space )
Mine is working as fast as other DAWs do and my CPU is comparable to yours (I use reaper as well).
Do you have the same issues without those instruments?
Are there big libraries involved and are they stored on SSDs?
I got also those problems with a good PC. ( safe mode/freeze message, sometimes need to open the task manager to close cubase and random freeze/slow openings windows in a project.

I added exclusions in my anti-virus and it seems better. I can use cubase with no other problems so it’s not a big deal but it can be a bit annoying.
I work with my second display in 1080p, when I try to work with the TV (4K) , it’s complicated with the sizes, but not a big deal too, and I exclusively work with the second display anyway.
But I’m globally happy with this new cubase, I can work without bugs or crash here.
it seems to be some long forgotten network drive of which the address had changed. I restored it as a quick-fix and would have removed it from the configuration (as |I fear it is not good for latency) but unluckily my testing period for Cubase 12 has expired.
Cubase seems to be too “sensible” in regards to drives/locations of previously used content etc. It should throw an error, if relevant, but crash? I would’t think it must.
