Did editing on 2 video's today, no more crashes and snappy performance with the latest NVidia driver. Happy the issue is resolved by updating the driver.

Well then that's a good outcome I say.

I have various tweaks in the OS to make things more efficient.

Also just spent two days messing around doing a minor update by dropping in a 1 TB SSD (Samsung EVO.)
Boot times are just as fast as the 750 GB Seagate hybrid Momentus XT (8 GB SSD + 750 GD Mechanical HD) that I swapped out.

With the new optimization, over provisioning and Samsung's Magician software with RAPID setting tweaks- things are considerable faster.

(To get the SSD to work I had to throw every trick I knew at it plus a magical combination on external sata cloning trying 3 diff. HD docks, plus fooling the system into accepting it before it took... what a pain. And THEN Windows 8.1 hit and that cost me another day, plus two more registry hacks, 2 external clone drives, 3 backup images to test and going through the BIOS setting by setting to get every damn thing to work. Holy Jumping crap sakes !)

And I *still* haven't gotten around to installing PD 12 and tweaking that to make sure everything plays nicely... sigh.

After that I will throw Cyberlinks own torture test at it: the dreaded Full HD Playback Preview of a long video clip.. har!
