New Computer & Vegas 9 HD Dont Get Along
I am really hoping to get to the bottom of this. So I just put together a computer specifically built for editing in HD. I installed an 80GB solid state hard drive, a 1.5 TB internal storage drive, 12 GB RAM, an ASUS P6X58D motherboard with an Intel quadCore i7-930 processor, and an NvidiaQuadro FX 1800 graphics card. Should have all the makings, right? Well, for a few minutes at a time, it will display the awesome process power it should possess, playing smooth HD video off the timeline w/o rendering anything. But this only lasts a few minutes, as the first key I hit to stop playback, whether its spacebar or just a mouse click, Vegas locks up, and goes into non-responsive mode. I have run a memtest on all my memory, and everything has passed. I am running the 64bit version on 64bit Windows 7 Pro, but had noticed this same problem when i was running the 32bit vegas. I have not noticed any problems while editing an SD project to this point.
PLEASE! HELP!
thank you all -

this may or may not help you, but you could have too much ram, and vegas has no way of using it all. what type of files are you editing?

The amount of RAM has nothing to do with it, IMHO. 64 bit will take advantage of all the RAM you have.
There is likely a problem with your hardware. I am running 64 bit on two different machines, and there is no problem with lock ups. Check your drivers. Make sure all support 64 bit. These self built machines have often have issues with compatablilty as most people have not idea how much compatability testing HP, Dell, etc. go through on their machines BIOS. I long ago gave up dealing with the problems of self built machines. But as they say, your mileage may vary.
