Video Flickers After a Few Hours

In one of my computers, the video displayed in the program monitor in Premiere Pro CS3 starts to flicker badly after the computer has been on a few hours. It is an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 3800+ 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM and a Radeon X800 Graphics card. The video plays perfectly for the first few hours and then...not.

Could be heat (in several components), RAM going bad, Resources being taken, over time, by other processes, PSU going out, or maybe something I did not think about.
I would first test everything. Down this ARTICLE are several links. One is for Harm's tools, which will help you. There are tools for testing heat buildup, RAM, PSU's and also Process Explorer to monitor Resource usage, as time goes by. There are some other links that might prove useful too.
I know that you are not experiencing a BSOD, but this article has most of the potentially useful links down-thread.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Why does it freeze after a few hours? Particularly YT videos won't show.

    If I leave my computer on for a couple of hours and then try using it, many functions freeze like the ability to copy/paste and Youtube videos don't show, it's just a blank screen. This has been going on for a long time and it gets very frustrating having to be restarting my computer every time this issue comes up. Another serious issue is when I want to go directly to any site ex. cpl retail, and instead of taking me there it takes me to a search page. I have to be using other internet options b/c this issues are really getting tiresome to deal with.

    It seems like your computer may be hanging on a process or perhaps even a long running script on the page you're on. If you will, please let me know how much RAM you have available when you start your computer, then how much you have after a few hours. This may be completely irrelevant, but it's worth a shot. :)

  • Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour then will only boot after waiting and pressing power button numerous times. I am running mountain lion with most recent updates.

    Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know.  Each time I was watching a video.

    Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

  • Macbook Air 13" Camera stops working after a few hours. Needs Restart to be functioning again. How do I fix this?

    Hello!
    The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
    Any suggestions?

    Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
    I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
    All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
    Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

  • Proxying from FMS to HTTP stops working after a few hours

    Hi,
    I'm using FMS Streaming 3.5.0 r405 on linux servers to stream videos with RTMP/RTMPT. We have decided to use the new proxying function to redirect HTTP requests to a Web server. We did not install the included Apache server, but used a lighttpd server installed on the same machines and configured to listen on port 81. So when a client connects with our player, it tries first RTMP, RTMPT and if it times out on these attemps, we try to go through with HTTP. FMS proxies the HTTP request received on port 80 to the lighttpd server on port 81.
    My fms.ini file contains:
    # Whether to start and stop the included HTTP server along
    # with FMS.
    SERVER.HTTPD_ENABLED = false
    # IP (address and) port that Flash Media Server should proxy
    # unknown HTTP requests to. Leave empty to disable proxying.
    # With no address, specifies a localhost port.
    # For example:
    #    HTTPPROXY.HOST = webfarm.example.com:80
    HTTPPROXY.HOST = :81
    This works well, but after a few hours, the HTTP proxy of FMS does not work anymore. Lighttpd is still responding on port 81. There is no error in all log files. Just stops working!
    I have to restart FMS to enable again the tunnel. This behavior happens on all my streamers. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

  • Dv5t-1000 CTO Sound sputters and OS slows down after a few hours

    I am running Vista 32bit SP1 on a DV5T-1000 CTO machine, 4gb ram 2.0ghz c2d
    I've noticed that after a few hours of use, usually after I leave the machine on alone and coming back to it, the sound completely degrades and the OS response completely slows down to a crawl. It is especially prominent if I go to something like youtube and watch a video. the whole thing sputters and stutters and sounds horrible and the os slows to a crawl.
    however, if I pause the video, until it's fully loaded, THEN play it, all is well, and my OS goes back to full speed...
    but the longer I leave my PC on the WORSE it gets. if I leave it overnight, and come back in the morning, the result is horrible. I have an audio alert to notify me if I have email. normally it just does a quick 'beeep-booop, taking about a quarter of a second' as it flashes the message in the corner. If i leave the machine on over night, the next morning the message will go 'b-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-p-p-p-p-p-p b-b-b-b-o-o-o-o-o-o-p-p-p-p-' and takes about 5 seconds to complete the notification!
    At this point, if I try to restart the computer, or shut it down from the start menu, it does nothing. I go to start select restart, nothing. I go to start, select shutdown, nothing. I have to physically hold down the power button and kill the computer!
    I've updated to all the latest drivers for all my components straight of the h-p site. I even tried upgrading my nvidia drivers to the latest from nvidia.com. that didn't work so I reverted back to the h-p ones (from LAST YEAR by the way, can we get an UPDATE!)
    so please, tell me WHAT GIVES! In addition to using my computer for daily activities, I also produce music on it. And if I use my pc for more than 2 hours, and I want to work on music, I have to reboot or suffer as my computer completely locks up.
    PS. this thing says I cant make a word using the letters h and p... is this a JOKE?!?!?!?!?!?!

    sorry about my tone, I don't realize how I sound when I'm typing, though I do think it's ridiculous that a forum about h-p doesn't allow you SAY h-p
    anyway, I'm still at a loss for what to do, and it just occured to me that this may not be the place to get official help. are there h-p people here? or should I be contacting support? I have a feeling all they're going to tell me is to update the drivers...

  • Network connection is lost after a few hours

    Hi Everyone.
    I'm new to the Mac world.
    I have two issues.
    1. Is there a way I can always map my network drive on my mac to see my windows PC? I always have to manually connect to it.
    2. I notice when I put the mac to sleep and I come back after a few hours I do not have connection to my network drive on my windows PC? It says that connection is lost or not available. It then takes another 3 minutes for it to recognize (beach ball thinking) and then I can proceed with my work.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Dragan

    I commented on that already in this thread in which someone did the same suggestion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=816760&tstart=15
    I will copy and paste it:
    switching to 802.11b isn't really the solution…
    with 802.11b you're restricted to 11MBit/Sec and it switches quite fast to 5.5 MBit/Sec.
    I have a card in my iMac that supports 802.11g (and even n - but for that I would need a new router…and the driver…an airport extreme base station is not really an option for me) and I want to use it. I want to be able to stream video in my home-network between the computers. With 802.11b it's not really possible. In addition I want a "fast" data transfer per WLAN - even though 11g isn't as fast as copper, it's definitly faster then 11b.
    Apple should do something on that problem. Right now I'm on 11g only and that doesn't help…

  • Firefox taking up to 3 GB ram after a few hours

    Long story short, Firefox RAM usage gets really high after a few hours causing it to not display pages correctly (e.g. Google turns out all black at 3GB usage)
    Addons:
    Youtube Center
    Youtube Unblocker
    Web.de Mailcheck
    selectivecookiedelete
    Adblock Plus
    Plugins:
    Shockwave flash, rest is disabled
    I did not have this problem before. I moved everything from the Mozilla folder in C:/users/USERNAME/appdata/roaming to a new pc (cause Firefox Sync is shit and doesn't even host EVERYTHING in its cloud), updated to 29.0.1 and it started to get these problems. All i can do is to close it down, wait a few minutes (cause the firefox process also runs hours after i closed the actual window; I have to shut it down manually with taskmanager) and restart it again just to repeat it every 1-2 hours.
    I always love mozilla on PC (even though it's bad on Android) and am really disappointed.
    The ram usage currently is more than Final Fantasy XIV on maxed out settings (firefox.exe 322.752 K, ffxiv.exe 300.000 K)
    Fix this please, otherwise I am forced to switch to another browser.

    Even though this has indeed run down the ram usage, the problem didn't exist before the update. I saw a video wrapping up the adblock-firefox problem:
    The uploader navigated to this page: http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-html.html
    Basically displays 300 i-frames, and the ram usage was at 300.000 K
    After installing Adblock Edge (EasyList Germany), the ram usage skyrocketed to 1,2 gb in a few seconds.
    Thing is, adblock basically loads the easy list to check for adverts 301 times, causing ram to be this high
    According to this blog (https://adblockplus.org/blog/on-the-adblock-plus-memory-consumption), the devs claim to have given the addon a global rule, which brings us back to Firefox 29.0.1
    I honestly think firefox has a problem there
    And for those who are interested, this is the video i was talking about:

  • Unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours.

    Hi, I am unable to boot Z10, stuck on loading screen at 99% after a few hours. I did not try to update, nor load any other OS versions.  Running a Bell Canada 10.1.  Tried to pull battery, leave phone boot for 5 hours, still stuck on 99%.  I tried plugging it in BB Link and computer will not recognize it.

  • A few thoughts and experiences after a few hours using my new ThinkPad E440 with Win 8.1

    After waiting 36 days for my new ThinkPad to arrive, I guess I'm just "eh" about it after using it some. Here are some of my thoughts, opinions, and experiences I've had after using it for a few hours... Hope this helps other people.
    I should not be surprised because I read all the reviews, but the touch pad really sucks. I hate everything about it, the way it clicks - it's so loud and clunky! - and it's insensitivity (and I adjusted this to be more sensitive). Thank goodness for the track point. I love that thing.
    The touchscreen stopped working after a few hours of use. After I rebooted it came back. Is this a bad omen? Or did I inadvertantly turn it off? Is that even possible? I am new to Windows 8 so anything is possible.
    The touch screen, when it's working, is not very responsive. It's MUCH LESS responsive than my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android phone or my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. This is very disappointing.
    I ran the hardware scan that is in the Lenovo Solution Center and got a warning under the category "Local Connection Test". I looked at the list of System Events and it's very long. The first application error event name is MpTelemetry. Response is "Not available". The next one is "PnPRequestAdditionalSoftware". Response is "Not available". And the list goes on and on and on for pages. I have no idea what to do about this or what it means.
    Also in the Lenovo Solution Center, under Software, there is a Critical Alert that says I never updated Windows. But I did when it prompted me to while it was first booting up and it was updating and installing things. Where it says "To update your operating system, you must run Windows Update", I click on the Launch button and it takes me to Windows Update where it says No Updates are Available. Go figure. It also says there have been 9 Windows updates made to the computer. I guess I'll have to just always ignore that Critical Alert.
    In the system tray, it says "ThinkPad OneLink Dock Detached!". I don't have a dock... So, yes, that's true, it is detached.   I'll have to hide that one.
    I realize there is a Lenovo Recovery Partition on the hard drive but I would really like to create a set of recovery disks before I start customizing this thing, installing apps, and moving my files over. I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. Under the control panel, there is the Recovery icon. The only choice there for creating recovery media is to create a Recovery Drive, not disks. I'll post a separate item to get information on this.
    On the positive side, I have had it in my lap the whole time and it's not gotten too hot for my legs. That's a big improvement on my old Toshiba Satellite Pro.
    This locating the Fn key to the left of the CTRL key decision must have been made by someone smoking crack. Why would anyone in their right mind want to do this? We've had the CTRL key on the outer left edge like, FOREVER, why move it now?? This will be something that will take me a long time to adjust to - if I ever do. I use the CTRL a lot for cutting, pasting, and formatting things in Excel and Word. It's going to be a battle. I wonder if any software exists that allows you to redefine the keys? Speaking of location of keys, I keep hitting the Page Down key when I want the Page Up key. I'm used to the Page Up key being above the Page Down key instead of to the left.
    After being told here in the forum that the fingerprint reader was not an option in the US I am pleasantly surprised to see one on my new ThinkPad.
    I use the right-click on my mouse often. For example, to open a link in a new tab instead of switching to the new URL. For some reason, when I click on the right part of the touch pad when the mouse is located over a link, it just opens the new URL instead of giving me options for opening the URL. I'll have to figure this out.
    So anyway, I guess that's more than a few things... hope this is useful to someone...

    You can change FN and CTRL key in the BIOS

  • Iphone 5s - IBM  Notes Traveler 9.01  -Unable to move messages to trash after a few hours

    I have a problem with one of my Iphone 5s users.  Everything was working with his IPhone 4S, but the phone died and so they replaced it with a 5S
    We are using an IBM Lotus Notes 9.01 Server  (latest FP patch) and Traveler 9.01 FP4 with the iphone 5 s.
    On his Iphone 5S  we install  Notes Traveler...  Everything works on it, but after a few hours  we not able  to delete messages on the IPhone.  When he clicks Delete on a message  on his Iphone,  it comes back saying it is "Unable to Move the message" 
    If I remove Traveler and reinstall it, he can delete the messages for  a few minutes or even  a few hours, but then it comes back and says it cannot move the  messages when we try to delete the email on the Iphone 5S.   The Iphone had   7.1.1 OS...  I updated it to latest Apple 7.1.2 OS on it..  Same problem.   We also have an AOL account on the Iphone ....that works fine...      All other Traveler users on Iphones  4S or 5S users are working Fine...  
    I had IBM look at it.  They did some testing and the  email deletions only appeared on the logs when   it synchronized to Traveler, but when the problem occurs...  it never did show anything in the Notes logs, about the Delete request.   They are saying it is an Apple problem.
    I even reset his IPhone 5 S to factory defaults and re-setup Notes Traveler and after a few minutes or a few hours... When he deletes a email he gets the  Cannot move the messages again.   I opened a bug report with Apple by never heard back from them.  All other functions of the email work..   He can send and receive emails...  He just cannot delete after a few hours.  I ran checks on he email database and everything comes up OK...

    That's odd.  You will probably have to contact Apple support on this one.  I'm not sure if their is a problem with your account or a server glitch at their end but in either case, they will probably have to look into it for you.  You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

    I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
