So you are running 296.10 of the Nvidia drivers? What kind of failure are you seeing? What source and settings are you using?

I have had success with rendering on my system using an NVidia GTX 570.
Many of the crashes “from” SVP 11 that I experienced went away with the beta and finally the released NVidia drivers the past two months. That leads me to believe that OpenCL support in the drivers were the problem. SVP 11 is not as stable as SVP 8 or 10 were for me, but I do all my projects on it now. My projects are for home videos, school projects, and scouting slideshows…so I am more tolerant of the crashes than someone whose business depends on it. The last project had a few crashes and they all occured when dragging a NewBlue Titler event to the timeline. I basically saved before adding any new title and when I was able to get past the initial dragging it to the timeline, I had no problems going back and forth making changes to the generated media.If you are getting 0% through the render, try changing where the render file is being saved to and also what sources are being used. Is it with any media source no matter the size or type? Are you running antivirus or something else that will try to intercept file creations? If you can reproduce this with a simple small project that you can share, then I would be willing to try the render on my system and report any errors I have. Any errors in the logs you could share?

In the past I did File – Import – DVD Camcorder Disc…

Check the Windows Update logs to see if one of the Microsoft updates failed the other week. You could try using a Restore Point from a week or more ago to see if that resolves the issue.

Here is an i7 for $1049 @ Newegg, so the i7 is within your budget.
Acer Predator AG3610-UR10P (PT.SHBP2.002) Desktop PC Intel Core i7 2600(3.40GHz) 8GB DDR3 2TB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103417I spent a few days on their site picking the components for my system based on the Video Guys DIY recommendations of what works. The i7 in this system is a quad core with hyperthreading, so it will look like 8 CPUs, four times what you have today.

I did a quick search for the “black screen and a blue square” and came across this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/my-computor-has-been-shutting-dwn-unexspectedly/a7b5adbc-949a-4289-9de4-b8f5fc427c6e
These types of errors are usually with the hardware RAM or disk to cause the OS kernel to crash. Most of the crashes I had experienced with the older NVidia drivers and older SVP 11 builds were only impacting SVP. Meaning I could relaunch SVP 11 and get back to work again. So I guess you were on the right track with looking at replacing the hardware. If you are going to be editing m2ts files, you may want to upgrade the processor to at least a core i5 or i7 if budget allows. Have you had any crashes while running Mac OS? Have you tried rendering with the Mac OS to stress the components or run a memory test? If it runs fine with the Mac OS, it might be related to the firmware of the adapters and the Windows drivers. I had a dual boot system with Linux and Windows and the Cisco wireless card firmware would update under Windows to the point that the Linux drivers would no longer recognize the card. If that is the case, then dual booting will not work for you and a second PC will work better, especially if you network them to share files and then could use the best apps from each system.
Good luck,

[Matt Whittemore] ” I also have a Mac formatted Raid that I use on Windows using MacDrive”
Is this for data only or for the OS system drive? I don’t have a Mac to test with, but you might want to try a fresh Windows 7 install on an NTFS volume and use the raid for data only (maybe drive D). What type for Video editing are you doing? Trying to do AVCHD on a dual core processor is not going to work well if you are editing those file natively. How does it work with less compressed SD types of video?

If this unit is directly connected to a computer
running Windows Vista with a network cable,
change the setting as follows:
(1) Open “Network and Sharing Center” >“Manage
network connections” >“Local Area Connection”
in the control panel. (2) In the “Local Area
Connection Properties”, uncheck the “Internet
Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”, and then click the
OK button.According to the manual this unit does not like IPv6 and Windows 7 has that on by default. You can usually turn that off as almost everyone still uses IPv4. You can uncheck that in the Network control panel for your Local Area Connection. Make sure you keep the IPv4 checked though. I would not hook the cable between the camera and the computer, since you now have to manage the IP address assignment. If you can plug the camera into a switch or wireless router that supports DHCP, then you do not have to manage the IP addresses. You do have to figure out what address the camera was assigned. In Sony Vegas in the XDCAM Explorer, you need to provide the IP address and the username and password for the FTP transfer. If this sounds complicated, you might find it more worthwhile to add a firewire port to your system.

Maybe you could post the specs of the system and what you are trying to do with SVP 11 when the crashes occur. What build of SVP 11 are you running 594 (32bit) or 595 (64bit). I found a lot of my crashes went away with each new build of the NVidia drivers I install.

They are probably formatted as HFS+. Below are a couple links I found when I seached for Windows 7 hfs+
