[jeam25]

Hi

When i change the CPU host settings in Protools 10 . The system crashes with freeze screen and a buzz sound .
Session have UAD plugins and kontakt 5.3 .
System usage shows only 1% when playback

A bios setting ?

If you have 8 cores, I found and avid recommended - setting the cores to 7.

So 8 cores is 16 virtual, but setting it to 7 in the drop down

Or you have a Quad and you have 8 virtual and setting it to 3 in the playback engine was my best experience


PT10 what sub version?

Umm ..good info . I have a quad with 8 virtual . And the PT version is the last version 10.3.1 i think !

Strange thing is i notice this since yesterday im NOT shure but i beleive ive run PT 10 at 8 cores testing it when i install everything from scratch .

Thanks

Yup, YYR123's advice worked for me a few years ago as well. Setting PT 10 to only use 75% of available cores provides the best possible performance and stability.
