I recently started using a plug-in, Auto Align  by Sound Radix.
 
This is probably not a popular plug-in for Cakewalk since it is used almost exclusively for aligning out of phase drums tracks, but it is marvelous for that purpose.
 
However, it seems to be a/ the factor in numerous crashes I've been having lately.
 
The screens start flashing and rotating randomly between track view, console view and plug-ins, either followed by a crash dump, an automatic reboot, or manual reboot.
 
I have a similar problem with Waves plugins showing up with blank user interfaces.
 
I've tried Disc Cleanup, Disc Defragment and reboots but the problem persists.
 
I think there was something else that can be done but I can't remember.
 
Any ideas?

If you haven't already, download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card from the manufacturer's site. 
 
If that doesn't help, check the support/knowledge base for the plugin.  Some plugins have their own quirks, and there might be a known setting or workaround that can get you up and running.
