Question about preamp/interface setup

Hello I'm new to the forums and just purchased some low budget equipment recently. I do mostly Hip Hop vocals and a little bit of female recording. Anyways I have an Audiobox USB Interface and a Tube MP Studio Preamp. I'm running the newest RODE NT1 through the Tube and then to the the interface through the Mic inputs/outputs.

Cubase 5 volume of some VSTs keeps going to 0

This is a bit of an odd one.
I had my system working fine for several years, then my PC motherboard died.
I bought a replacement PC and re-installed everything.
But I now have an odd problem.

For SOME (but not all) VSTs, every so often (and this varies from 1 second to 10 minutes) the volume on the instrument drops to zero.

Bringing in audio from external midi device

I've never done this before but, I have a Nano Piano hooked up via Midi and it has analog outputs on the back. I have the analog outputs coming in via the hardware aux line 3, which is a stereo in on the M-Audio omni studio. The nano plays fine in logic and I can change the presets, but I can't get the analog audio (that I'm hearing) to go to logic's output channel for a bounce.
