    Found the reason, but don't know why it happens.

    It depends on Max_dp variable.
    If it equals 5 or 4, then there's no problem. If 3, 2, or 1, it causes problem. if DP=3, then hangs on 2800 (around), if DP=2, then hangs on 280, if DP=1, then hangs on 8.

    What might be the reason?

    If anyone interested, the reason for this issue was noisy power supply. Added 100uf capacitor at 7219 power pins - problem gone.
