CS4 hardware/performance problems question
-
Power supply has a 25% margin if it hasn’t degraded, this “render and the stutter would show back up but in a different place on the timeline” would appear that something is changing somewhere, if its not due to data dropouts from disk frag, memory problems, or power problems , it could be from data transfers from the disks due to marginal sectors, have you ran low level disk diagnostics?

Has this issue ever been resolved? I’ve had similar problems with a studder in my video. This was on my Mac Pro with CS4.

Well it’s a 3Ware RAID controller and they have a small diagnostic program that basically tells them everything going on with the card and the drives and I ran it just yesterday and they tell me that everything checks out and the controller is configured for maximum performance.
At this point I am starting to think about just reformatting the hard drive and starting over with a fresh install of everything.

One thing you can try with strange problems is to shut down the computer, disconnect all power, clean the edge connects on perif cards, memory sticks, reseat all power connectors and drive cables

Well I did take everything apart and blew out the case with compressed air, but I didn’t try cleaning the contact points with isopropyl alcohol… I’ll give that a shot, thanks.
