Default Pro Tools 11 CPU Overload?

Hello,

I recently just purchased an Early 2009 Mac Pro strictly for Pro Tools:
-2.39 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
-Running OS X 10.9.5
-My audio interface is a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40
-I am running Pro Tools 11

When attempting to record my first session (1 stereo audio track with a click track and master) every time I start recording about 4 seconds in I get a CPU Overload error: (AAE -6101) screenshot attached.

What is ridiculous is even when I set my buffer all the way to 1024 Samples it keeps giving me this error, when opening the System Usage panel this computer isn't being taxed at all as it shouldn't considering the only plug-in running is the Click II and 1 stereo track being recorded.

I followed the steps from Avid to Optimize this mac when I first got it, I have no idea how to fix this issue or what is causing it considering this Mac Pro was recently built strictly for Pro Tools.

I am really hoping someone can give me some insight or help, I am very stressed out over the situation and just want to record some sessions.
