cubase crashing / crash report

Hi guys, continuing to experience a lot of Cubase hiccups lately. I’ve actually started to worry something might be wrong w. my computer. An inordinate amount of crashes, and everything just seems a tad slow – have even been wondering if I’m experiencing MIDI latency, which I’ve never encountered before. Here’s my latest crash report (or the top of it anyhow!). Wondering if anyone can see any culprits?
Thanks so much!
Paul

Hi,

I would recommend to update your Cubase to the latest available 9.0.40. Then I would probably recommend to trash your Cubase preferences.

I hope it will not crash after.
