Thank you so much, things like this just confuse the hell out of me when reading manuals C-State and turbo boost I've seen that in my bios before but what the hell are these

Turbo Boost increases the frequency that the CPU operates at when additional processing power is needed. Disable it for Pro Tools, which prefers a nice stable frequency.

C-States are power saving features. Disable for Pro Tools, same reason as above.

According to the Win7 optimization guide, disabling these can help alliviate errors:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...#disable_turbo

"Turbo Boost and C-State Transition affect the way the clock speed of the processor is managed. When either of these are enabled, the processor will dynamically change speeds depending on computing activity, and this throttling will generally cause errors in Pro Tools. You will need to access your computer's BIOS setup to change these settings."

As tnipe says, it sounds like you need to re-visit the optimization guide. It took me several passes through it to get everything done correctly, and I (kind of) know what I am doing.

Yeah I've been through it many times, but things I'm not sure about I dare not touch

Raol, it looks like you have Speedstep (Intel EIST) enabled in BIOS. The Sweetwater Win7 optimization guide reccommends that you disable it:

Thanks Tnipe I disabled that the other strange thing I encounted if I disable hyper threading in BIOS when pro tools loads and it gets to the part creating DAE it freezes the PC so I have to have that on in the BIOS
