Hi Dafydd,

Attacments as required. These are actualy files from a third party - video and photos, the audio files are the same as I would use. I tried out an old project of mine and it worked a lot better with whatever media I have from my own equipment but still occasionaly froze.

Sorry missed one out, I think!

I will get ny brain in gear, forgot Build Version:

14.0.2820.0

Dafydd B it is now a week since I posted the replys to your questions. Are you still covering my problem? Tim

Hi,
Your right, your answers had slipped by me.
Diagnostic reveals your GPU's drivers need updating.
Driver Date/Size: 12/3/2012 16:47:14, 18045968 bytes
Preview in non-real time (no audio) - your GPU might need help previewing.

Your audio drivers need updating:Date and Size: 11/20/2012 12:13:10, 4213904 bytes.
Your partitioned drives - why?
Editing source material off a USB drive? You might need to ping the external to stay active. Source material should not in my view be on external drive - I have used them where I ping the drive to stay active.
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Dafydd,
I think the problem is solved.
Tried to update software with Windows and it asked to restart computer. I got the BIOS screen saying the computer was overheating. Downloaded 2 software heating monitors and both said CPUs running up to 98C without running any additional software and certainly not PD!
Took the side off the computer and sucked it all out and the temperatures dropped to lower 30s. Tried PD editing and it was vastly improved temperature got up to around 40 on quick editing but it didn't freeze very often and for only short durations. I dread to think what temperatures it was running at before. I will let you know if things change.

Hi,
OK
Dafydd
