AME 13.1 Build 173 APPEARS to run the CPU to max capacity which APPEARS to trip some safety system on the motherboard which then shuts down the computer - BSoD for Windows, Shut Down on a Mac.

This obviously needs more testing, because it just seems weird that software that has been around this long would cause a situation like this, but changing the settings in Windows seems to have fixed the issue, so I don't know what other conclusions to draw.

The suggested improvements would be:
1. Just throttle AME at around 95% or so on the back end of the software.
2. Allow the users to throttle it in preferences, with a default setting of 95% or so.
3. Put up some warnings and instructions on how to adjust the computer settings for your major (read: Windows and MacOS) operating system clients.
