I've changed the plugin compatibility mode to "in seperate plugin process", but I still get the crashes.
When it freezes I just get like "stuck" audio (i.e. just the last played sound) which plays on until I force-close Reaper.
It can happen when working in a plugin window, but also when scrubbing the timeline or tweaking the mixer. Anything really.

I only get crashes when using VSTis though (VST instruments), never when using VSTeffects. Also VSTis that use midi and doesn't generate their own sound locks up reaper.
When it locks up I can't even reboot windows but have to hold the on-off switch to completely kill the computer and then restart it.
For me it has happened for at least half a year's worth of reaper updates (I started using reaper early 2012, coming from Cubase AI4 which somehow never crashed with the VSTis I used)
Both 32bit and 64bit versions behave like this, but my VSTis are 32bit so it may still just be those that aren't too good. To me it's just strange that reaper can't contain them like cubase AI4 could, being a more modern program etc.
Anyway, basically this means I can't use VSTis with reaper, and I have no idea why.
Just wanted to share this in this thread, for what it's worth.
As long as I don't use VSTis Reaper is very stable though, so I'm hesitant to blaming reaper for these lockups but certainly would like it to be as good as cubase was for me. Perhaps cubase were more stable because it was older and didn't push the pc as much? (cubase AI4 isn't multicore, for example)
Computers sucks. They take all the time away from doing fun stuff. Like actually PLAYING music with real people.
Oh well.
