STS5000 Killed my PC

Hey, I was messing around with the STS5000 for the first time last night (nearly 6 years after i got it...jeez, what have i been DOING all this time?!)
and anyway, while messing around with looping and trying to timestretch a sample in real-time via MIDI CC, my second monitor went black and the whole system just froze, meaning i had to completely reboot. the DSP meter on the scope never went above halfway either...

anyone ever have any problems like this with it?

sts 5000 make use of your pc resources such as ram and cpu.
I have had some problem in the past on my old p2 450 with 512 of ram, but it is very stable on my amd 64 3400 with 2 giga of ram.

Regards

STS5000 will regularly and predictably crash my PC if I mistreat it.
Things like:
Dragging too many samples into the keygroups window
Playing a sample too high on the keyboard
Anything which is a serious strain

I either get a BSOD or it turns off my computer completely.

I still use it a lot, though, because it's a great sampler.
