The only basic difference between your computer and mine is I have W7. I have nine of those issues

Do you have your antivirus and other programs running when the program is producing? .

Edit : That was supposed to be none of those issues; not nine !

Re: Memory/graphics Neither, you have plenty.

There is something else going on. Do you have the shadow files enabled? You don't need those. Are your resources (videos/images/music ) on your system drive? Alway store your resources on your 2T hard drive. When you are ready to work on a project, make a folder on your system drive and copy the resources you are going to use in that folder so you are working from and on the SSD.

Do you have the latest version of your program installed? What driver do you have for your video card? .

1) My shadow files are enabled. Does it have any effect of the video production ?

2) I use my backup drive for videoproduction. There are only programs and videofiles. I have these drives connected.
CRIVE SAMSUNG SSD 250GB (only for system files)
FRIVE WESTERN DIGITAL 2 TB HD (only for backup af videoproduction - Cyberlink Powerdirector 12)
GRIVE WESTERN DIGITAL 1 TB HD (only for music)
HRIVE WESTERN DIGITAL 1 TB HD (only for music)

So i have memy enough, a good graphic Card ? I though that i should buy more memory og a bigger graphiccard for HD, Ultra HD videoproduction ??

I use version 334 for the graphiccard...............if i update to version 335, i see a watermark from Nvidia in the videopruduction. And there isb't any solution yet

So i have to copy the videofiles to SSD instead HD,, that will solve my problem ?

Is your F Drive a internal or external drive?
Why not put one of your external drives inside the computer (your F drive maybe ).

If it is external, what interface? USB or Firewire?

I'm a bit confused by what drive you're using for what. But I just went through a 2 month long search to find out why my program runs so poor and I believe I've narrowed it down to the hard drive. Your setup is more than enough. Overkill actually. The only weakpoint might be if you're using your 2TB HDD for video production.

Try packing your project materials somewhere on the SSD, and then re-opening that project file from the SSD. See how that works.

Hi forum,

If you want to see your bottlenecks try the free Moo0 System Monitor from Moo0.com

It displays system activity in real time and highlights what is limiting performance.

My bottleneck is my Mechanical Hard Disk Drives as expected, I do not have SSD.

PatC I will try.

I checked my BIOS, and i can see my SSD drivert aren't configurated. When i retarts the computer, i can press Down CTRL+M. I dunno how to configurate the SSD. Maybe it will run my programs faster ?

I tryed to make a map on the ssd drive for cyberlink, and the videoes run a litte bit faster. When i load a Video files in ts or m2ts (4-6 gb videofiles), i can see in the top of my computer, i can see the computer are thinkining. Dunno if i need more memory that 16 GB.

I got a friend WHO is a litte bit computer freak. He told me to skip the 2TB western digital HD for backup, and buy 1 more SSD on 250 GB. If i do that, i can connect the SSD to the another one and runs RAID. The computer will be more stable, and the programs will run faster. Do u agree with that or, is there another solution ??
