You've got what is considered a Tech Support nightmare. I'm not sure what video hardware you are using to playback video while in Pro Tools but I can tell you that the configuration you are running is not supported as far as Pro Tools is concerned and is most likely the cause.

First of all, Pro Tools does not support any Raid drives for audio or video.

Pro Tools does not support all that additional hardware in the computer at the same time. Do yourself a favor and get another computer for the Pro Tools hardware. This will allow you to use the correct card/slot order for Pro Tools.

There are several things that can cause 6042 errors. Essentially, what it is saying is that you've got too much stuff going on at once.

The Atto card settings can cause 6042's...the ATTO setting for the Media 100 system are most likely not the same ones for Pro Tools. Check the compatibility section of the Digidesign website here for more info on that.
