Default PT10 Crackles and Pops with ANY plugin activated

Hi. Posted this on RME's forum, but once it became clear it was a PT issue, I think they lost interest.

I have an RME Babyface. I'm on Windows 10 desktop, running Pro Tools 10.3.9. I run this machine with Pro Tools almost everyday. For the past two days, when I activate any plugin, and I mean just ONE plugin on ONE channel, I get terrible crackling and popping. Checked my buffer size, and it's up at 1024. Tried with other buffer sizes. Restarted the machine about 10 times. Tried 3 different USB cables. Tried a different USB port. Nothing seems to help.I didn't change anything from one day to the next. I pulled up a session I had been working on the day before, and suddenly I can't use plugins without the popping.

Reverb plugins seem to cause the most problems. Avid/Digidesign plugins cause popping, but not nearly as bad as third party plugins.

Also, on other programs that use VST, this does NOT seem to be a problem. It's really only with RTAS plugins.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had similar issues, but overall not just caused by plug-ins. Have a look here.

Holy moly. That's quite informative. Surely my issue is in there somewhere.

Currently trying to record a vocal with a stem playing (so two total tracks running) with zero plugins active, CPU (Native) at 3%, and my session is getting stopped with an Error 9128: You're running out of CPU power.

This is frustrating, to say the least.

Figured it out. Totally unrelated hardware issue. Two USB 3.0 PCI-e cards were creating weird issues. So now on to new problems...

Glad I now know where to find some RME issues if/when I get them.

Not to mention PT10 & Win10 are not considered compatible by Avid.
