Cubase and Kontakt

Hi guys,
These programmes seem so sensitive to each other! I load the Cubase file, It works. I play on a Kontakt track for a few bars, the whole PC crashes. I force close Cubase, open it again and repeat the procedure. Open, play, crash, etc. etc.
Any one got any idea how I solve this?
I updated Kontakt and Cubase today but no change.
Cheers,

Maybe check your harddisk for bad sectors. Most of the time when I have crashes its the harddisk.

Thanks for that idea. It seems that if my VST performance goes above 50%, Kontakt struggles and eventually crashes. I wonder what Steinberg think about this?
Solution? I changed the ASIO buffer from 128 to 512. There is a slight increase in latency but no Kontakt crashes.
Is this good practice?
Cheers,
Neil

Increasing latency is to be expected, to be free of crashes is what we are striving for :wink: so whatever works is right I suppose.
