Instant crash. I suspect a hardware issue and not cubase, but still it’s concerning and I’d like to find the source of the problem.

Description
The program Cubase8.exe version 8.0.35.565 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.
