The most common amount of RAM that I have heard of video editors using would be 16 GB on a work station with the occasional one using 32GB (but that is only because their work was paying for it rather than them ) Normally if you start getting really huge files it becomes more resource efficient to use a server cluster aka render wall. I do all my coding in Sublime Text 2 - its more light weight than Dreamweaver. Btw, what is PP? is that Power Point or something else? I know that AE is After Effects. :). You'd be surprised how much RAM I use. I do have other things running in the background too. The reason it's so much is my computer is a triple architecture system, and at the time that was what I could get so I went with it. I know I'm not using all of it, but the next amount down was too little. I do use Sublime Text 3, but there are some things I have to go back to DW for anyway, so mainly use that. Also that's what the company supplied. ;). PP = Premier Pro.	dpDesignz (15919)

Most guys I know tend just to do one or the other since both areas (web design and video editing) are full time jobs on their on.	Webdevguy (17166)
1385807	2014-10-07 22:55:00	Those look pretty decent. Have you used them yourself? When I used to work for an MSP we used the older XW series for CAD people etc, had no issues with them, solid built machines. 3 year onsite warranty too.	Alex B (15479)

I'm a web developer, IT specialist, video editor, photographer, sound engineer, graphic designer, youth leader... yea like I said, no life When I used to work for an MSP we used the older XW series for CAD people etc, had no issues with them, solid built machines. 3 year onsite warranty too. Hmm, good to know. Thanks :)	dpDesignz (15919)

It may not find anything, but wont hurt. By the looks of it, after a bit of googling ( and experience) there's to many different causes ( drivers), BUT all bar one is the same type of crash Error 0x00000133 Drivers Crashing: igdkmd64.sys = Graphics, hal.dll = These errors can be caused by conflicting applications, eg Malware as for the ataport.sys Ataport.sys errors occurs when this file gets corrupted, damaged or deleted by the malicious program, incompatible software, outdated device driver or major corruption in operating system That would usually mean theres either one piece of Hardware really playing up or Corrupted system files, or some program playing hell with it. I assume chkdsk and sfc /scannow has been run ? If they haven't someone needs shooting :annoyed:	wainuitech (129)

That was what I thought was doing it to start with. After scans etc showed nothing, PB Tech replaced the CPU and WiFi card as well.	dpDesignz (15919)

Of course if the PC is being pushed beyond its usefulness then upgrading is the way to go . Actually got a PC here the people insisted it HAD to be replaced, as they had been told by several others "in the know":rolleyes: its useless -- I told them nope, a simple reinstall will fix it (it was obvious virus and malware riddled) they didn't want to listen and had brought a New All in one (less powerful than the old PC) I had to transfer data, and do a whole lot of other things as well, when leaving they asked me if I wanted the old one for parts, other wise it was just going in the bin -- I said you sure ? - well after reinstalling it, it runs very well thank you :) I did try to tell them --oh hum .	wainuitech (129)

Good point. I just need to find a CD and my Key :). On a hunch I ran sfc /scannow again and got the error "WRP found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". Log can be seen at www.dropbox.com I don't understand it though :(	dpDesignz (15919)
1385814	2014-10-08 02:01:00	Awhhh Ok SFC says its got errors ( that's a good start) had a very quick look at the log in notepad: heres the error by the look SFC cant fix: ( around line 35 up from the bottom) Cannot repair member file [l:36{18}]"Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of prncacla.inf, Version = 6.3.9600.16384, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type = [l:24{12}]"driverUpdate", After having a look, some places say Cool n Quiet if installed will cause problems. What you can try -- MAKE A BACKUP FIRST, just in case, try using DISM command, Option 1 dism-fixing-component-store-corruption-windows-8-a.html (www.eightforums.com) Personally I'd do the ScanHealth first, to see if it finds anything. Its meant to be better than SFC, and all posts I've seen say if SFC cant fix a problem, try DISM ( with the commands), if that cant fix it - reinstall. ( more on it HERE (answers.microsoft.com) ) Never had to run it, so that's why make sure you have a working backup - JUST IN CASE.	wainuitech (129)
