New to PBC - NEED HELP!!!

So my PBC 10 arrived just before the holidays. After I placed my order I went right to work in the Mastermind Editor so once everything was setup I could load my settings and go. I got everything hooked up last night and messed around with a few presets but mostly with the individual loops just to make sure everything was routing and working as expected. I loaded my settings over USB and found a few mistakes in my programming. I corrected the settings last night in the editor and went to bed. I'm just getting around to the updates now and as soon as I plugged in the USB the whole system started blinking and pulsing. See the attached video. It's been doing it intermittently for the last 15 minutes. I don't know what to do and I would hate for this to happen in the middle of rehearsal or a show. My setup is pretty straightforward. 6 pedals to the front of the amp, 2 to the amp's effects loop. Everything in mono. I'm running two P+2 power supplies to split the load. When it first started I thought that perhaps something was drawing too much from a single power supply so I started unplugging things to find the culprit. Even with the PBC being the only thing getting power it still behaved the same. Not sure where to go from here!

How are you powering it? By P+2, do you mean a Pedal Power 2 Plus? If so, you have to use outputs 5 and 6 (the Line 6 outputs) in parallel to get enough power. If it's a different supply, please let me know which one. Have you tried powering the PBC with the included power supply?

Yes sorry. I was typing frantically! PP2+ combining outputs 5 and 6. The dipswitches are in the “normal” 9V position. After dinner I’m going to flip them to the 12V position to see if that makes a difference.
 
As of now it looks like running ouputs 5 and 6 at 12v has corrected the issue. I'll update if there are any changes.
