Vegas Crashing System – Potential Hardware Issues?
I’ve been having a crashing problem for a week or so while running Vegas Pro 10e. Then all seemed fine. Then the crashes started again today. Always happens while Vegas is running and the computer has been on for 4+ hours. What happens is I suddenly lose video signal to both my monitors. Computer may or may not still be running the program. No way of telling when the monitors lose signal.
I reboot. Start Vegas. Runs for about 5 minutes then I lose video signal again. On the 3rd reboot it crashes before it gets through Windows 7 boot process.
Once it crashed during timeline playback and along with the video signal lose my audio got hung-up and started buzzing.
Hardware starting to fail? Power supply? Graphics card? MOBO??
Thoughts!
System: Supermicro MOBO X7DWA-N, dual Xeon 2.56Mhz CPUs, 16BM RAM, WIN 7 64bit, 4 internal HDDs, two external RAID HDDs. NVIDIA 4700GTX graphics card.

BTW, there is nothing in the Events Logs other than the system did not shut down proper since I forced a reboot. Also, on the last 3 reboots I lost video signal right after the Supermicro logo and one of two other screens flew by. But by watching the RAID LEDs and windows sounds, it appeared to have booted up. But without video signal.
Looking more like the NIVIDIA 4700GTX????
I can swap and test with a GeForce 8800GT card if Vegas Pro 10e can run on it. Yes? No? What card is suggested if I need to replace the 4700GTX?
Thanks,

Sounds like a thermal issue. Has the system been thoroughly cleaned? I find that I need a good quantity of compressed air to get all of the dust out.

It turned out to be the NVIDIA G470GTX card. Got it replaced and all is well once again.
