Hey guys. I have recently been having some MAJOR issues with a certain program called Avid Pro Tools 10.3.8. I'm posting this both in the Avid forum (which is down right now) and the Windows forum, because I'm still unsure as to which one is actually causing the problem.
Whenever certain Pro Tools sessions try to autosave, Windows will crash. I'm talking mouse freezes, cannot pull up task manager crashing. Also randomly, if I have been in Chrome searching something, and switch back to Pro Tools and try to hit play, the crashes will happen again.
It doesn't seem linked to one certain session, it just appears to happen randomly.
What I've noticed is that if I DO manage to pull up task manager, it'll say that Pro Tools is using up 99% of my CPU, but it definintely shouldn't be. Most of these are minimal sessions that have maybe five or six plugins initiated, and about 8 tracks total. None of these plugins are pirated, and this is an actual purchased version of Pro Tools.
I DO have Pro Tools 11 as well; but with the recent change to AAX plugins, I still run Pro Tools 10 in order to use certain VSTs that I cannot run in Pro Tools 11.
Also, I just built this PC and it works GREAT in other big programs; Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Lightroom, etc. Let me know which program is preferred here to use to generate specs, and I'll update those immediately.
Thanks in advance for any type of help!
