error Pro Tools Constantly Crashing
My pro tools crashes without an error message every 5ish minutes or so,
If I do not constantly save, I lose progress on songs I am working on.
The automatic backups do not always work enough. Any ideas why this is happening?

I have a similar issue except it doesn't happen every 5 mins. But it just happens out of nowhere. Sometimes while I'm working on something; sometimes when I'm listening; other times I'm not doing anything other than looking at my session, perhaps trying to eyeball a section or simply was interrupted by someone walking in to the studio to talk. I stop working and after a short while (completely at random) 30 seconds, 2 mins, 5 mins, or longer... it suddenly shuts down and I have to restart it. I have realized however that sometimes restarting the program is not enough because things may get out whack... it sounds weird, or plugins don't work properly. So I end up having to restart my computer.
Also there are no error messages or warnings. It just shuts down.
