Cubase VST problems (hardware related??)
Hardware: Asus CUSL2-C motherboard
PIII 1000mhz
512mb SDRAM
ide1 > 40gb ATA100 7200rpm
ide2 > cdrw > dvd
i have a capture card
32mb nVidia TNT2 m64
Hoontech C-Port (8in/out analog, 2in/out digital)
When i get the money, another HDD (prob 20gb, same otherwise) will go on ide2 prim with dvd on slave, and 40gb will stay on ide1 prim with cdrw on slave.
Now, just yesterday, i killed my setup of dual pIII 866's with the abit VP6 motherboard and switched to the above. This was because the VP6 motherboard (and all other dual cpu motherboards) have via chipsets, or more importantly, don't have intel chipsets (high-end audio cards have problems with chipsets other than intel). The asus has the intel i815ep chipset. Too bad this didn't fix my problem.
Problem: Whenever i run cubase, or nuendo, or any steinberg software, they just crash. There is no warning message, the system just hangs. I've been trying for months now to fix this but i simply can't find the problem! I've been over the bios so many times, but no good. What's strange is that Logic Audio works fine (it was included with the c-port). I'm using the ASIO drivers and usually stick to 44.1khz with a buffer size of 336 (gives 7ms latency).
I would love to hear any suggestions from anyone, PLEASE!!
