Default Protools 8 and Windows 10 issues

Hey everybody,

I have Protools 8.0.5 and Windows 10 on a 2018 Dell Inspiron. I currently have trouble with the CPU power as after 30-45 minutes Protools stops playing and tells me either of the following:

"You are running out of CPU power. Try raising the max CPU usage" ect ect (it's at 95% and can't go any higher)

or

"The audio device buffer underflowed. Try lowering your kbps (it's 256)."

Does anyone know why it would keep doing this even after I restart protools? I have nothing else on the computer except for Protools and a couple files here and there.

Any help would be most appreciated, thanks in advance!

Default Re: Protools 8 and Windows 10 issues

Impossible to say with zero details on the computer and the interface. For starters, Pro Tools 8 is not supported on Windows 10(which doesn't mean it won't work, but you are on your own). Hopefully, someone will see this thread and have some ideas(mine would be to buy a newer version of Pro Tools that is supported, like 12.5 or newer). Look near the top of this(and every) DUC page for the link named Help Us Help You. Have a good read and then come back with the info folks need to help
