1) which version of RB are you using? 2013? I ask because previous versions may have bugs that have been fixed, and knowing which version may help us to remember which problems were not yet addressed at that time.

2) are you using ASIO drivers? If so, switch to MME and see if you still crash. (this is a process of elimination test. ASIO drivers cause problems for some users under certain circumstances and before we eplore all those circumstances its useful to know if eliminating that variable eliminates the crash.)

3) if it crashes when you are playing a song that is 100% MIDI, my first question would be "which soft synth or plugins are you using?" Some of the newer plugs and synths can eat up RAM quickly. For example, the SESSION HORNS package always sucks my ram down to the point that I can't even close the program without program manager
