Build evaluation, please

Comments, please, on this proposed build, for editing AVCHD and AVC Intra (100mbs-150mbs). Note that some choices reflect what's available at the builder's (e.g., the brands of 570 GPUs, Kingston RAM). The system will be used for PP6, possibly AMC 6 and Resolve Lite.
- Antec Performance One 280 case (because it's supposed to have sound insultation, for quieter performance?)
- Coolmaster Silent Pro 1000w
- Asus P9X79 Pro
- Intel 3930K
- 16MB Kingston Hyper X KHX1600C9D3K8/32GX Quad Channel RAM Kit (this RAM is 1.65v and the part number is not specifically approved by Asus, but 5-star reviews on Newegg, with the Asus Mobo)
- Intel BXRTS2011LC High Performance Liquid Cooler
- either MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC GTX 570 OR PNY GeForce GTX 570 1.25 GB (the MSI runs cooler?)
- 1 Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1 TB (system drive)
- 2 or 3 Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2.0 TB
- Acer V243HAJbd 24" LCD Monitor OR Asus VE248H 24" LED LCD
- Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
I'm pretty sure it's not terrible, but any comments? Thanks.

>MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III
If that is a dual GPU card, it is a waste of money FOR PREMIERE PRO
PPro will only use one GPU for hardware MPE
You really don't need a 1T drive for your system... Win7 and all your software is only going to use something less than 100 Gig... as long as you have your Win page/swap file on a different drive
My 3 hard drives to edit AVCHD are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
(*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.

Hello,
I'm using CS 5.5, Mac OS 10.8.4. I've spent the last two nights trying to figure this out but I am really stuck this time... I think the issue I'm having is similar to IDEAMAN1 but I got lost on his advice after trying some stuff out, so help would be greatly appreciated!! (I'm only medium-level tech savvy...)
Trying to create my first epublication. Downloaded FolioPanel v26 and installed it, then FolioProducerTools v27 and installed it. Realised I had stuffed it up so uninstalled both using the uninstaller. Re-downloaded FolioProducerTools v27, FoiioPanel v27 and installed in that order and popup said the updates were ready to go. Opened InDesign and folio builder panel said "An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.". The link brought me to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh which is where I downloaded the original files anyway.
So I've tried uninstalling, restarting the computer, trashed preferences, closed CS5.5ServiceManager, reinstalling heaps of times and not sure what I should try next. Please help!! Thanks!!!!

That notification is often a bug.
I get it regularly when I launch InDesing while connected to my Thunderbolt Display.
If I disconnect my Macbook from the Display, relaunch InDesign it works fine - reconnecting to Thunderbolt display after this also still allows the Folio Producer tools to load properly.

Hobbyist i7 build, comments please

This is my first post on this forum and I apologise for its length but felt I should explain my choices.
I found this forum and dvinfo.net in my research to build a new PC. This forum in particular has been of immense help. The expert knowledge, experience and opinions so generously given will, I hope, have saved me from making expensive and frustrating mistakes.
I have read and re-read a number of the threads here and finally (I think) have put together my shopping list. I would very much appreciate if interested members could take a look and point out/suggest any flaws/alternatives before I place my orders.
I'm an enthusiastic hobbyist and will use my new PC for photo-, audio-, SD video editing, DVD creation (family movies), family web site build and general PC stuff - so will not be video editing/encoding all the time. It will replace my present PC (an AMD 3500+, 3GB RAM, XP Pro that I built 5 yrs. ago) which is really struggling now. Photoshop & Premiere Elements 8 and Vegas MediaStudio 9 have proved it's no longer up to the job - 5 yrs. ago it was brill. Despite all the time and money invested, I'm sure that in 5 yrs. time my new build will be no different.
So having set the scene this is what I've come up with:-
I don't want or feel that I need a RAID setup as I image backup my desktop data every day to my NAS and image backup my C drive weekly. I'm fully aware of the advantages of the appropriate RAID config but I've always been concerned about what happens when one of your matched drives dies and you can no longer get that model. I'm not seeking to build a dedicated editing machine to use for commercial purposes.
I've never overclocked but with the kit I plan to get I intend to have a careful go using posts on here, particularly Harm's as a starter.
I have chosen three different makes of HDD to spread my risk and carry out my own small reliability evaluation.
The OS of my new system will be Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
My shopping list is:
CPU                    Intel i7-920 - OEM version because I won't be using the stock cooler.
MOBO                Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 - because it has sufficient SATA, eSATA and Firewire ports.
RAM                   6GB (3x2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3, PC3-12800 (1600), CAS 8 (8-8-8-24), XMP (TR3X6G1600C8) - I'd like 12GB but I'm already over my original budget. If I decide to stretch to 12 (well it is nearly Christmas) how much of a risk I am   taking with them not actually being a guaranteed matched set (a 12GB matched set is considerably dearer - price has gone up £40 since yesterday)? From experience I know it is best to get all the RAM you think you want in the first instance because trying to find matching RAM later is a pain and can be impossible. I can't see this RAM in the mobo's QVL so I'm hoping it'll be OK.
RAM Cooler         I don't know if this is reqd. for 6/12 GB? For this amount aren't the heat spreaders on the RAM sufficient?
PSU                     Corsair 750HX PSU - as advised by Harm, I've run my build through eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Pro 2.5 to find the power needs of this lot plus possible additions. The 750 still has amps for un-anticipated add ons.
CPU Cooler          Noctua NH-U12P SE 1366 - seems it will do a nice job and the price is bearable - a bit concerned about case fit though.
Thermal Paste     Artic Silver 5 - seems to be a favoured compound.
Northbridge Fan AKASA AK-VCX-01 40x40x10mm - not sure how I'm going to attach this to my mobo yet.
GPU                     ATI HD5770 - I was going to get a 4890 but this looks a more suitable card re future.
OS & Apps HDD   500 GB Western Digital WD5001AALS Caviar Black - this should be fast enough and has lots of space
PF/Cache HDD    500 GB Western Digital WD5001AALS Caviar Black - as above.
Genl Data HDD    500GB Samsung HD502HJ Spinpoint F3 - for anything that isn't video, photo or audio.
Proj Files HDD     1TB Seagate ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 - should be big enough and fast enough. Archive on NAS.
Media HDD          1TB Seagate ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 - as above.
DVD-RW              Samsung SH-S223B/RSMN (Retail) - I chose this over a Sony Optiarc (OEM).
2 SATA Caddies   Antec Easy SATA - to house my Project and Media HDDs so that when I'm not media editing I can unplug them to stop them wastefully spinning away creating heat, wearing out and using power.
Case                    Coolermaster Storm Sniper All Black Mesh Edition (SGC-6000-KXN1-GP) - it was hell of a job finding the right case. This isn't perfect but ticks most of my boxes. It's an improvement on the original Sniper, is spacious, should have good airflow and has the external front ports I want (USB, eSATA & Firewire) (and a handy button to switch off the bling LEDs). The new Zalman MS1000-HS1 was a contender with its front hot-swap bays but it's so new there are no useful reviews on it and its predecessor has poor airflow reviews. The Antec P183 is very nice but with my caddies the door would be a nuisance and it doesn't have the Firewire port. Ditto the Firewire port missing from the Antec 900-2. Had it been the eSATA missing from the either I could have lived with it because the caddies have eSATA ports.
Just to complete the picture, because my desktop capacity is to be increased I will add another drive as follows to one of my NAS devices to increase the archive/backup space.
NAS HDD             ST3200542AS - 2TB Seagate ST32000542AS Barracuda LP
I'll be using my existing mouse, keyboard and recently purchased monitor (Dell 2209WA 22").
Sorry this has been so long but I thought it would answer some questions that might have be asked - on the other hand it could be so long people forget what the question was.
Thanks (if you stayed with me)
Tony

Thanks to you both for having the tenacity and time to give me feedback. Your suggestions were very useful as they caused me to revisit my planned workflow. My response is, I'm sorry, a little long winded but I want to show I've given your suggestions full consideration.
Harm,
Thanks for the praise but I only followed the advice you and a few other stalwarts of this forum have already given to many others.
Thanks also for the comments re the compound and Northbridge cooler - that released a tenner to my 12GB RAM fund.
When I looked back at the many notes I'd taken from the many posts I've read I found the Nthbridge cooler had come from the first post in reply to a question on Tom's Hardware Forum (www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-260467_12_0.html) and was about another mobo. I've read that much about overheating that it has me quite concerned to cool it so I included it. If you've never had a problem that's good enough for me so I've dropped it.
I noticed your suggestion elsewhere about the Supermicro cage but didn't follow up then. I've had a look now and that bit of kit looks very good and I almost opted for it instead of the caddies. However, I've thought about the practicalities and have decided to stick with the caddies because:-
(a) if I could foresee at some point my needing 4 or 5 hot-swap drives for concurrent projects then I would definitely have gone for the Supermicro cage - but I can't. I'm only going to be concentrating on one project at a time so I can archive the previous one, clear the drives and when the next one comes along start afresh. My projects run serially, not in parallel.
(b) the case has a front eSATA port that I'll connect to one of the two eSATA connectors on the mobo - thus one of the eSATA ports on the mobo bracket will not have a supply (not a problem because I can't see a need for me to have two eSATA devices permanently plugged in to the back of the machine). This config will give me an eSATA port back and front providing the flexibility of a permant rear connection and temporary front connection should I need to 'do a quickie' in parallel. The caddies also provide eSATA ports giving me two more hot-swaps should the need arise.
Jim,
Re general PC stuff: my plan was to replace my old PC with a new one and apply an updated worklflow config. I'd already considered keeping my current PC but I don't have the room space. However, your central point (which I know from posts is shared by Harm and others) of keeping the AV editing PC lean and clean is well made and on reflection I am able to do.
In my 'command module' where I have my boys toys I spin my chair to the right for my desktop and to the left for my iMac. I currently have WinXP Pro running in Boot Camp on my iMac, accessed through Parallels Dektop. In due course I'll be replacing XP with Win7. That is where I will concentrate all my non-AV activities, leaving my new build exclusively committed to AV.
No longer needing an HDD for general data is going to release another £38 for the RAM fund. More funds (£32) can also be released for the fund because there is no need for the caddies - the machine will only be on when AV work is being done. Nice one! I owe you both a drink.
Re northbridge: it's a 920 on an X58 (Bloomfield) mobo I'm getting, Jim, not an 860/870 on a P55 (Lynnfield).
Re DVD-RW: My iMac I has a Optiarc AD-5630A which is why I thought I'd have a different make in my new build. Thus giving me flexibility/options.
Re: KVM switch: Yes I'm familiar with these but your earlier suggestion lead to this being unneccesary.
I'd appreciate either of you, or anyone else, commenting on the risk/merits of buying:-
2 x 6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), CAS 8 kits, or
1 x 12GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 12800 (1600) CAS kit.
At the moment the 2 x 6GB is £254 and 1 x 12GB is £304 from the same supplier. So it's a £50 premium for the matched set. It must be the safest buy but is removing the risk worth the extra £50?
Many thanks again,
Tony

Dmake is very very slow in our builds (HELP please!!!)

We use dmake (with makedepend) in our builds and our build time for the entire system is extremely slow (it takes 17+ hours to do a clean build).
Could anybody suggest a solution or remedy to help us reduce the long build times.
We use solaris 2.6 with Forte 6.0 C++. Our sources are mounted on a shared filesystem/disk and they are not local to where the build happens.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Your build server has 2 CPUs, so it makes sense to use
dmake in parallel mode instead of make. I'm responsible
enginerr for both, make and dmake, and I can say that
they are compatible. People, who don't care about the
build time, can use any of them. People, who cares about
build time, should use 'dmake -m parallel -j 8' if they have
only 2 CPUs.
Of course each build can have some specific, but in
general it makes sense to allow 4xN parallel jobs (where
N is the number of CPUs). Also there is an ability to run
this build on several build servers (see 'man dmake' for
details about the build in distributed mode), or to run this
build in "grid" mode, but first of all you have to make sure
it works in parallel mode.
So I suggest you to try the following experiment:
1. Replace "make" with "$(MAKE)" in makefiles
2. Run build with "time dmake -m parallel -j 8 ..."
If you see that "user"+"sys" time is twice bigger than the
"real" on a 2 CPU system, this is the best result this
build can show. If "user"+"sys" is less than the "real"
time, there is a room for imrovement.
Please, let me know the results.
Thanks,
Nik

I have had the same problem as above and spent quite a few nights pulling hair out over it. Adding/removing quotes in the environment var and in the ant batch file didn't seem to work though.
I added and echo line to spit out the antRun command and found the LOCALCLASSPATH var was stuffed.
Rather than piss around any further I just wrote a batch file to generate an equivilant variable called JWSDP_ClassPath (for want of a better name).
The batch file code was simply (line by line to make it easier to read):
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\Sun\s1studio_jdk\j2sdk1.4.1_02\lib\tools.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\server\lib\catalina-ant.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\jaxp-api.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xsltc.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xercesImpl.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xalan.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\sax.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\jaxp\lib\endorsed\dom.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib\optional.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib\ant.jar";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Program Files\Sun\s1studio_jdk\j2sdk1.4.1_02\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\common\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\lib";
set JWSDP_CLASSPATH=%JWSDP_CLASSPATH%"C:\Java\jwsdp-1.3\server\lib";
I then call this before the antRun command and use JWSDP_CLASSPATH rather than LOCALCLASSPATH in the ant.bat, eg:
call set_JWSDP_CLASSPATH
:runAnt
java -cp %JWSDP_CLASSPATH% "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" "-Djwsdp.home=%ANT_HOME%\.." %ANT_OPTS% org.apache.tools.ant.Main %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
This will obviously need to be customised to the install paths on the PC it is run on....
Anyway hope this helps someone if the above more simle solutions do not.

Audio distortion post Build DVD - Please help!

Hi all .. I have edited a wedding video in Premiero Pro and exported my AVI files with Normalised Audio Levels. I imported the AVI files into Encore CS2 and have created my DVD menu. I have also imported high quality mp3 and wav files to use as menu soundtracks. When I preview the DVD, everything sounds fine however when the DVD is created and I playback on my home theatre, the musical soundtracks are distorted! I have tried building a new DVD with audio dolby digital at 256kbps but audio is still distorted.
Please help!

Disregard my last question Ruud, I've exported audio from Premiere, Normalised to -6db in good old Cool Edit 2000 and imported in Encore .. much better results. Thanks :)

Build Review Please

I am a first time builder and have been studying this forum (great contributors here) for guidance on building a CS5 Premiere compatible system. The components (my proposed system below) are familiar as much has been gleaned from proposed systems from others.
I initially ran eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Pro v 2.5 using a 750W power supply but was right up against the limit. I wanted to leave a bit of room for an additional hard drive or two in the future as well as another 12Gb of memory so it put me up to an 850W PSU.
In addition to the advice given on this board I read “Building the Perfect PC” (O’Reilly) 2011 edition and their editing system build is similar to suggested builds on this board. It seems like a good resource – especially for a first timer like me.
A couple questions – it looks like the i7 comes with a heat sink and fan, yet builders are including aftermarket CPU fans in their builds – are the included fans inadequate/noisy/problematic? Also, I see several competing brands for the video card, is MSI a better build than others?
Please look over the list below and advise if you see any incompatibilities (like does the PSU fit in the case).
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comments are appreciated, Thanks!

Almost finished - need some help!
I bought the components, put it all together and it works. I ran it through a burn in using BurnIn Test and all seemed well. I did clean installations of all my application software (all programs run perfectly). I then began to transfer the data from my old PC using a USB External hard drive. I was able to transfer part of my data.
I am able to connect the USB External hard drive to my old Vista PC - it sees the drive and all contents. I can add to it , delete, whathever (full functionality).
The problem is when I plug the USB External hard drive into the USB port on the the Win 7 Pro build, Win 7 does not see it (initially, I it did and I was able to transfer files). At first, when I plugged in the USB Ext HD, autoplay detected it, it opened in windows Explorer and I was able to drag and drop files to my new system.
Now when I plug in the USB Ext HD, I see the indicator light go on that it is being accessed but autoplay does not start. If I wait a 10 minutes or so, then start windows Explorer, the drive letter appears but when I click on it, windows Explorer stops responding. the only way out is to disconnect the USB Ext HD - this frees windows explorer and I get a message that the drive (now no longer connected) needs to be formatted (when I check it on my Vista system, it reads fine, all files intact).
I experimented with a 1Gb USB thumb drive, same thing happened - not visible, hangs windows explorer.
I tried to unistalling the "mass storage device" USB drive (successfully) then reconnecting the USB Ext HD. Win 7 re-installed the driver and indicated the device was ready for use. However, when trying to access it, I have the problem described above.
So it seems I have some kind of USB problem - not sure if it is hardware or Windows 7 related. It worked for a while but now it does not. I could really use some help diagnosing my problem.
Thanks

Encore CS6 crash during build. help please URGENT

Hi,
this is my first dvd in encore but I did lots of dvd on dvdstudio.
My project has 1 main menu, 5 submenus. 2 timeline and more than 50 chapter list access by these sub menus. with option of play once, loop etc.
Check dvd only bring back an error that Im ignoring cause it says that one timeline has no end action, and also it is orphan. don't care cause all chapter are select by chapter playlist to reduce the amount of size
anyway I don't think it is something wrong with the authoring, maybe something I missing during the menu creation I did all of them in PS thru adobe dynamic link
The built process crash at 1/3 of the progress. An it takes like 4 hours just for that. The assets are quicktimes none compresed and some .mp4 all together is about 2 hours of video.
PLEASE any suggestion ? I need to send this to my client tomorrow
I can Re make the whole dvd in DVDstudio but as you can guess it took me a lot of time to conect all this assets.
thanks!

Stan thanks a lot for all your help
Last night I leave one of my computers enconding all the material to m2v files with encoder dvd presets.
But when I tried to replace this files in my encore project it gives me an error: "Could not import file it is not the same type as the file it is replacing" weird. of course this files are now m2v. this files are working perfect in DVDstudio
I will have to remake the authoring in dvdstudio with this m2v files.
Too bad I was soooooo in love with adobe CS, I switch a few month ago, and premiere surprise me! is by far much better than FCP, audition is great for fast audio post don't need to use OMF and protools anymore, AE is AE the best for motion. encoder quality/speed is so much better than compresor.
hope they fix encore and they make a more versatil speedgrade (one that work with any file codec)

Help me diagnose crash on build/format please?

Hi everyone,
I use DVDSP 4.
I have a rather large and complex project that I attempted to build + format. On my first try, it crashed the program. I then made sure there were no updates, trashed the pref file, restarted, and got the same error result.
Then, I loaded a prior version of the same project. The prior version uses the same tracks, the same media. But wierdly, the prior version built + formatted.
I then re-ran the newer version of the project... it always crashes at 60%. When I go back and look at the log, unfortaunetly, it's blank. But I took contemporaneous notes, and the last entry looks like this:
compiling vts #1 [track 1]
preparing subtitles
mux vts011.vob
done
Then it crashes. Do I assume that the prob is with the VOb after 01_1? Or that I should just trash this version of the porject and recreate my changes in the older version? I'm pretty much a beginner at this stuff compared to most of you... so what would you all do?
Thanks!

Hey Ira, how are you?
Take a look at the files in the VIDEO_TS folder to make sure the last file is the VTS_O1 (or anything in the VTS and figure out where the last one that was started/built), then use VTS view to look at what is in VTS_xx and the problem would be there,
That will show which is causing problems, looks like it is VTS_x1, but not sure.

Note that a few things can cause issues, gaps in the timelines, corrupted assets ,high bitrates and others. I notice you have subtitles it seems, and subtitles add to the amount of bandwith being used. If you have not encoded your audio to AC3, that would be the first thing I would try if there are no gaps in the timeline (if you are just bringing in a .mov it will leave the audio uncompressed.) Also generally I encode things outside of DVD SP, including video, for more control.

I try to restore my iPhone and I get a pop-up saying "The iPhone could not be restored. This device is ineligible for the requested build". Please help.

Trying to restore my phone. I have it in recovery mode. I have iTunes updated and I've done the terminal hosts thing when I clicked "more information". No matter what I do I still get the same pop-up. It'll extract files for anywhere of 10 seconds to 2 minutes and then the pop-up shows. I hope i've given enough info if not please ask for more. Also I'm using a mac computer.

Problem solved. I misread one of the steps in the terminal walkthrough.

External Jars in Classpath are removed by DC build. Please Help

Hi All,
I have a problem with my classpath. Everytime I try to build a DC some parts of my classpath are emptied. Most notably the external JAR: com.sap.security.api.jar.
It makes it it impossible to do a DC build and use the components in other DCs.
I already tried to add it as a variable like this:
Name: SAP_SECURITY_LIB_HOME
Path: C:/Program Files/SAP/JDT/eclipse/plugins/com.sap.security/lib/com.sap.security.api.jar
It didn't help either.
This problem makes it impossible for me to work with DCs. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Jeschael

Hi Jeschael,
Instead of adding the "com.sap.security.api.jar" by going to the properties, add the same as Used DC.
1) Go to DC Meta Data
2) Right Click on the Used DCs
3) Select Add Used Dcs
4) Go to the SAP-JEE compartment under Local Development
5) Select the DC "com.sap.security.api.sda"->Finish.
If you add library in this way your problem will be resolved.
Regards,
Jhansi

Neo4-F new build probems, please read/help

I decided to try MSI motherboards again, I bought a Neo4-F.
I have had nothing but trouble since I built the PC with this motherboard.
Hopefully someone can help me.
The problem is that there are too many random BSOD's. Often when there is a BSOD, I loose my USB keyboard, and sometimes the USB mouse. By either installing a PS/2 keyboard or clearing cmos clears the problem.
The FDD works randomly.
I installed the latest bios, all the drivers are the latest.
There appears to be a cold boot issue also, where it will give a BSOD once or more, than run fine for a while.
There are circumstances where installing software, running an anti-virus program or firewall will cause a BSOD also.
Ofcourse there is no overclocking on this unstable motherboard, and most all bios settings are at optimized defaults.
Harrdware is as follows:
MSI Neo4-F, with latest bios.
OCZ Modstream 520 (new)
Kingston Hyperx 3500 2x256 (proven good)
AMD 3200 Winchester w/retail HSF, temps around 35c
WD160JB IDE drive.
I dont want to rip MSI being I am looking for help. But this is my 2nd MSI board, and both have not worked properly. The first was due to a CRC error that was a common problem.
I am an experienced builder, I run a DFI Lanparty with an Opteron that is heavily overclocked on my personal PC.
Is there anything I can try with this board before I return it?

I know it sounds silly but I have had similar issues with an Asus MB. What happened was I was trying to get the heatsink on with a flat-head screwdriver and the side of the heatsink snapped off so my screwdriver went straight into the motherboard . This caused all sorts of errors so maybe trying a new motherboard will solve the issue. Strange thing with the usb mouse issue, never experienced that myself since 98 haha!

First time PC build. Please help.

So first off I'm pretty amateur. I have been running Pr elements on an old destop for a while and putting together a few little DSLR projects. Im starting to get a few more serious projects and need to upgrade things. I was tempted to go down the Mac route but have pretty much opted against that. I am planning on getting Production Premium, as I can get student pricing. Going this route I really need a good computer that I can rely on to cut and color quickly. Keep in mind that Im not doing anything really fancy. Mostly simple edits with coloring and other basic effects.
This is what the computer shop recomended based on what I thought I needed. The price came out a little higher than Id like, so any recommendations would be really appreciated. I am really not much of a computer guy so I have no idea if there are any problems with this setup. Is it too much for what I'm doing? What would you do to make it better?

I appreciate anyone who can take the time to answer this question from a beginner.

>Patriot 240 GB Wildfire SSD Hard Drive (OS drive)
I agree with Harm... I have Win7 64bit Pro and CS5 Master Collection and MS Office Pro and "several" other, smaller programs on my boot drive... and only 60gig is used... I do have my work load spread across 3 drives
My 3 hard drives to edit AVCHD are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
(*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

>Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Unless you are on a "business enterprise network" where you need the advanced features of Ultimate, all you need is Win7 64bit Pro
Even if you are not going to overclock your CPU look into a better cooling aftermarket CPU fan
Be sure you have plenty of "large, quiet" case fans
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694 includes a link to the computer I built... outdated now, but still works well for me

Hi,
I would recommend building your project in JDeveloper, creating the connection pool using the JDeveloper tools (Tools - Embedded OC4j Preferences) and then using the configuration files that were created in JDeveloper to use within your standalone OC4J server, assuming that is what you are using.

Build evaluation, please
