Default Pro Tools 12, audio distorts and then computer crashes

I was running Pro Tools 12, when my audio started distorting really badly. I attempted to restart Pro Tools, but my computer crashed in the process. I restarted my computer and ran Pro Tools again, and the same thing happened; I got audio distortion and then my computer crashed. I have no issues with running anything else besides Pro Tools, so that is obviously what's causing it. Any solutions to the problem?

I have an MSi GP60 2PE Leopord with Windows 12, and Tascam US-2x2 audio interface. The distortion kind of makes it sound like old 8-bit video game music. It would come on gradually and then get exponentially worse.

Try downgrade to Win8.1 Pro or better to Win7x64 sp1

Verify you have latest BIOS & Firmware install if not.

Same for Tascam

Check temperatures:

Increase fan speed.

Did you try different buffer sizes in ProTools ?

I sometimes get tese 'total distortions' when running Kontakt.
Changing the buffer size in PT solves it ...

Ok I changed my buffer size from 256 to 1024, and that did the trick. Thanks for all the help!

JuanPC,

The first thing you recommend is for him to trash the whole computer OS set up and install EVERYTHING and start over? That doesn't seem helpful at all. Glad you're not on a Mac because I wouldn't want to get advice from you!
