CPU Overload! - Help.

[Zoduati]

So I am working away all going well for an hour or so, and then suddenly my CPU overloads, despite the fact I have been replaying the same section of my song for the past hour.

However, once the CPU overloads, it keeps doing it, and the only way to clear it is to reboot ProTools.

Can anyone shed light on this? Is there a way to 'reset' the CPU?

I have trashed my preferences a number of times and seems to improve things for a while. Is this the only solution?

Thanks,
Geoff

Next time please try searching/reading before posting.... There are hundreds and hundreds of posts about similar symptoms with Pro Tools 12.5. Downgrade to 12.4 and/or wait for the promised 12.5.1 and/or remove the click plugin...and/or throw out Pro Tools and get a better managed DAW... Either way we just do not need yet another thread about this likely known/same issue.

Probably coming from CPU hungry plugins or outdated plugins. Remove all 3rd party plugins and try to run a session that way. If you still get the CPU spikes then I'm not sure what the next step would be.
