new video card crashes pc when loading Vegas
Hi Guys,
I used to run Vegas on an older duo core 8gb machine with no ral issues other than the time taken to render (and that you could really only render and do nothing else on the pc).
I upgraded to an i7 overclocked machine with 32 gb of ram. The card the builder put in is a Nvidia GeForce GT 610. My reseach show me that this a low spec card. I think it only cost about $45. The new system would occaissionaly freeze and the only course of action was to hard reset. It just never recovered from the freeze. We wound back the overclocking so that it now runs stockstandard. Not big deal it s a beast of a machine as it is. It still freezes at times for no apparent reason. Because its not a crash with bsod there are no logs. Event view just tells me there was an unexpected shut down. Not helpful. I can make it crash though. Every time I start Vegas Pro 11 I can watch the loading screen and as soon as it gets to loading video services it locks up. I installed a trial version of Premiere Pro as well for testing and it also only gets to a certain point before it freezes the pc. So Im leaning towards it being a graphics problem. I have the latest drivers for the card. I am at my whits end. I guess the obvious thing to do is try another card? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Adrian. Just browsing this forum and found your post. No responses so don’t know if you have resolved this issue.
My first suggestion is to head into Options/Preferences/Video and turn off GPU acceleration. You are right, your card only has 48 CUDA cores and you will find that your processor will overtake the card quite easily. My understanding is that this will GREATLY increase the chance of a crash.
Hope this helps although by now you probably have a new card, one that works hopefully! -
Hi Phil,
Thanks for that. I found out my bios was way out of date. I updated it and viola, its now all good. I do however have an issue with DVD Architect crashing when I try to create dvds. It gets about 75% through and then it stops with error. I cant remember the error but will post that next time it happens. Seems to only happen when the job fills over 90% of space on dvd. Smaller jobs no problem.
