Processing overload in cubase 12 elements

Hey everyone,

I am a cubase user for 2 years now, and since 3 weeks, I have issues with it :
I have a processing overload like every 20 seconds, even without recording (which is impossible because of it …).

It happens with small projects with 4 or 5 instrumentt tracks as well as in bigger projects. In bigger projects I also have crash issues.

I have a focusrite 8i6 with ASIO guard on, I tried almost every sample rates and every buffer rates possible … nothing works.

Here is my PC configuration :
Intel Core i5 12600kf
32GB RAM 3200C16
AMD Graphic card Rx6750XT
Wen I record the performance of the computer through windows during the drops of Cubase, there is no drops of the CPU perf

All the drivers are up to date, same for my 8i6 focusrite.

If you have any ideas, I would be super glad to hear them !

Thanks from france guys

Hi and welcome to the forum,

What changed 3 weeks ago? Any system update (maybe a silent one)?

I would recommend using the LatencyMon utility to test the system.
