Default Re: CPU running out of power...# tracks can my desktop hand

Are you still having problems? Did you try the denormalization solution I offered above? That machine should be able to handle at least 32 tracks and a modest amount of plugins.

The integrated graphics might be causing a problem. It is definitely not recommended for Pro Tools.

Why so many optical devices? Are these physical disk devices or virtual disks? Virtual disks are definitely not recommended.

Are you actually using that? If not, remove it, or at least disable it when using Pro Tools. Same thing for the ethernet adapter.

Are all the printers really hooked up?
