Trouble with Movie Studio 13, Win10 and i5 6600K

Ahoi,

some months ago I upgraded to win10, running a i5 6600K and a GTX 970 on it. Primary for gaming and image processing.
On Win7 Movie Studio 12 worked very fine, both 64bit.

But since yesterday Movie Studio 13 permannently crashed - during previews of my videos and at the half of rendering a film.
Some crashed happend in the past but they didn't "hurt" - actuall I can't use Movie Studio 13 anymore.

Are there any other users with a similar system and some tweaks, hints or other usefull settings for me?

I changed the following settings in Movie Studio 13:

1. RAM for preview to 10GB (I have 16)
2. Renderthreads to 4 (the i5 6600K supports 4 threads by Intelspecs)
3. Projects foldersettings for temporarily files to an 1TB SSD.

Rendering only by CPU or using CUDA doesn't matter, crashes appear described as "unmanaged exception".

My installation:

Win10 on my primary SSD (C:), Movie Studio on an singular SSD (H:) . Projects, Videofiles and the temporarily files on annother 3rd SSD (O:).

Movie Studio 13 Platinum is build 955 64bit.

I'm very very thankfull for any tipps or tweaks!



Update #1:

I created a new project with an ShadowPlay-made screencast of 3 minutes and made some experiments with the settings I described above.
Now it seems that my problems are not depending on Movie Studio or my OS, I think the last projects I created were buggy.

All media is present in the project folder and marked as online. Every single media file is playable with VLC or Media Player, they're not broken or something like that.

Ialso discovered an .vf.bak-file in this folder and deleted it.
Now everything works fine but I'll keep this in problems in my eyes.
Are there any methods to check the whole project and it's included files?

The projects-settings were overwritten, my folders for recorded files and for prerendered files are in C:\Users\... again. Hmmm.....

Thanks for the links, I read the first one before but the seccond gives information I must try. Imho rendering with my CPU feels faster then with the 970 but I'm not really sure.
Re-(clean)install was done last week.

I figured out, that the more files are in my project, the often the crashed appear.
Orphans and moved files were cleaned but actually I have a 15min-Video with 8 single .mp'3, 5 videotracks and 4 images.
This project only crashed when previewing full on the seccond monitor.

I won't give up ;-)
