Problems with maschine (crackle pop + severe CPU spikes)

Im guessing the bar between the power button + the volume is CPU usage, whenever i turn maschine on its fine, once i hit play with a basic 4x4 beat, it goes into the serious red and theres crackling on the music

How can i fix this? Ive got it outputting through my Audio 8

Just to add in here im only using 2GB RAM on a Desktop (Acer Veriton L410)

Raise the latency
