Cubase Crashing Alot

malware bytes is the best respected scanner for malware when scanning ONCE. using it to scan at all times is NOT recommended. You should turn off that feature, or un-install malwareBytes completely.

NordVPN is a VPN you installed yourself. These concentrate your data through one internet site, and also want to look at everything, so they have a habit of breaking into anything and everything, often VERY ineptly. Installing such a VPN makes your Mac FAR less secure.

Your Mac Pro 7,1 with Xeon processor has Error-correcting code RAM. Simple memory errors are corrected on the fly, in one stretched memory cycle. No add-on memory diagnostics are needed, and their use is not advised.

Once you have those removed you can look at Cubase crashes. Your crashes to date appear to have been caused by stack overflow. anti-virus and VPN soft=ware can add a lot of stuff onto the stack when they scan things. But you should contact Cubase about this, as it is NOT normal, and they may have some quick fixes for users like you with LOTS of add-ons.

several of your disk drives are essentially FULL, showing under 100 GB of space available. Making any changes there will be slow.

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners. or a VPN that you installed yourself. The main reason is that they are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for things virus-like patterns in Everything. When completed, they do it all again.

The idea that a third party, with no special knowledge of the inner workings of MacOS, can somehow find a simple way to protect your computer — that is not already being done by MacOS itself — suggests that the MacOS developers are somehow "holding out on you". That is absurd.

You should remove any and all (other than Apple built-in) virus scanners, speeder uppers, optimizers, cleaners, App deleters or VPN packages you installed yourself, or anything of that ilk.

Third-party file Sync-ers such as DropBox, BackBlaze, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive can ruin performance, but are not inherently dangerous.

do you think any of these crashes could be graphics related?

that is not very likely. your older one was a segmentation fault (access to RAM not owned by the task making the call, and your more recent ones are caused by stack overflow.

Stack overflow COULD be caused by anti-virus making lots of activity in the middle of your edits, or by mistakes in Cubase itself, which is why I suggested you contact CUBASE for guidance.

that's not what your report says. Your report says malwareBytes is installed and running at all times.

<< How to remove NordVPN >>

drag the Application from the /Applications folder to the Trash can. the next time your Mac starts up, NordVPN will be left out, so that it is no longer part of the running MacOS, and can be removed by Empty Trash.

yes.
