When I listen to demos on native-instruments website, Windows 7x64 crashes and reboots after a BSOD

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/komplete-7/ and listen to every audio demo. 
2.plugin-container.exe is sucking more and more memory till Win 7 crashes (Blue screen)
3.rebooting

Actual Results:  
Blue screen -> automatic reboot

Expected Results:  
plugin-container should free memory at some point

With 4GB of RAM, it takes some time but I already crashed 2 times today
Adobe Flash player: You have version 10,2,159,1 installed

No crash ID available, but I can provide a win7 minidump

If you stay inside the Flash-app (some of the clickable elements in the Flash app will go to a different URL, but most don't), then you're actually use the same application all the time.

This means that if there's a leak, it's in the application itself, not in the Flash plugin, or in plugin-container.exe.

Plugin-container.exe CANNOT release the memory, it should be done in the plugin. Since that uses a garbage collection system, it's probably due to the application itself.

to extend what Ho wrote:
Windows should not crash even with in a low memory situation. A Blue screen is never (!) the fault of a usermode application like Firefox,plugin-container or flash.

>2.plugin-container.exe is sucking more and more memory till Win 7 crashes 
How much memory (to get a number) and how many RAM do you have on your system.

I wasn't sure if it's an app, Flash or plugin-container issue. I didn't know plugin-container can't release memory. I made another attempt and got plugin-container suck more than 3 Gb (out of 4Gb installed) but had no time to go further.
I'll report it to the webmaster.
