It details how my problem was resolved, maybe the same will work for you. Good luck!

You couldn’t be as happy as I am! We did discuss video preview prefs and I/O but nothing I tried made any difference. The really odd thing is the AJA plug-ins I installed were not on the system before a week ago. I installed them last week at the request of the system builder I bought this new Mac from. He thought maybe they would fix the problem – they did not. So it’s very strange that uninstalling them somehow fixed the problem. But frankly I don’t care why it worked as long as it keeps working!
Something is a little “off” with the AJA plug-in for AE CS4. Apparently the ones for Photoshop and Premiere are OK, but don’t install the AE plug-in.
AJA is an EXCELLENT vendor and has provided killer support the few times I’ve called them. I’m sure this will be fixed soon. Until then, don’t install that particular plug-in component. Or do and then uninstall it – very weird.

I’ve been told by some tech folks the Apple Hardware Test is not entirely reliable for full RAM testing. But hey, it’s a computer, who knows. Here’s another idea – Andreas, do you have the AJA plug-ins for CS4 installed? Here’s what I just posted as the resolution of my nightmare:
Wow! I’m still stunned, but apparently my problem is fixed. I just uninstalled the AJA Plug-ins for CS4 and poof, I’m able to RAM preview at 29.97 fps in realtime on a 1080 comp (low complexity). I’m getting video preview through my Kona LHe to my broadcast monitor, mirrored on the desktop. The whole enchilada, as it normally should be.
Thanks to AJA for another excellent tech support experience! Apparently the plug-ins for everything in the CS4 suite EXCEPT After Effects work fine. The AE plug-in is a bit “touchy”. I can’t tell you how happy I am that this is apparently over. I’m also cross-posting this in my original thread on CS3 performing better than CS4. Thanks!

You may or may not have faulty RAM, but I’m unable to use CS4 due to it’s inability to RAM preview in realtime. I have eight 2 GB DIMMs in an 8 core box and I can only get 8 fps. Swapping RAM DIMMs is an effective way to test long-term, but it’s also extremely time-consuming considering RAM problems can be intermittent depending on how the program is accessing it.
Is there a faster way to test DIMMs?

You may have been referring to my post in early July about my problems with AE CS4. It’s called something like “CS4 performs worse than CS3”. I have a very similar problem to yours and have no resolution yet. I can only get 8 fps! If you figure out a solution PLEASE post it! I’ll do the same. Thanks, Brian

Update – nothing has been resolved. I’m fairly certain I’m not the only user with this sort of problem, but so far no fixes. If you have any suggestions, fire away! Thanks.

Any chance we can take this offline and speak on the phone? I’m up against a deadline today and unfortunately can’t devote much time to troubleshooting, but I don’t want to lose traction on this because it really is a critical issue. Just not quite as critical as keeping my client happy.
I’m willing to let you remote into this box if you want control. Maybe checking it out “in person” would help? You can email me directly at: brian@aujom.com
Thank you for your assistance!
