Default Re: CPU errors - need new computer?

I'm getting CPU errors. It basically starts to give me trouble on this particular song when I add Ozone on the master bus - that seems to be the tipping point.

In the PT setup I'm using 3 cores running at 95%. (I've tried various settings including 4 cores running at 85%).

Turns out I can't overclock due to Bios restrictions.

Do I have any options besides getting a new computer?
I don't even see many options that have more than 3.6GHZ so would that even help?

Wondering what I'm missing in this picture...
Is your HW Buffer set at 1024?
Core speed (3.6Ghz in your case) only tells a fraction of the story.
