Hey guys,
I’ve just upgraded to Cubase 7 last Friday. It crashed my entire system straight out of the box, several times. Unusable.
Today I spent the whole day working in Ableton without a hiccup, but when I went back to Cubase earlier, it did that again. The same thing.
It crashes the computer after a few minutes. Again and again and again. The screen goes all rainbow colours and the sound gets stuck like a CD skipping.
This is definitely a Cubase issue as my system is really stable and the only time I experience any kind of instability is when I’m using Cubase, I learned to live and deal with it. This is however a bit too severe. I’m afraid it’s actually going to seriously damage my computer or the harddisks.
The crash log says nVidia GeForce, so the only explanation I can come up with is that the new mixer GUI is so horrendous, the video cards goes catatonic trying to render 1000 shades of ugly & shuts down.
I’m on OSX 10.8.2 (it did that on 10.6.8 as well though), 8GB RAM, Core i7 Mac Book Pro.
I’m using a PT digi 003 interface and I also had Cubase iC Pro, Maschine mk2, BCF-2000, Oxygen 49 and Novation Launchpad connected at the time along with 3 HDDs.
Any advice? Biggest workflow killer ever.
