7.5.20 crashes under Windows 7 while opening OSX projects

Yeah I would guess it’s caused by low memory.

Also , what you could try is moving out all your vst from the vst folders, then move them again
into the vst folder one by one. ( and reloading cubase each time you move one VST )
That way, you’ll see if the crash occurs when one particular vst is loaded.

my 2 cents
