Ok, lots of Blue Screens of Death... all saying physical memory dump. I have no idea what this means and less of an idea how to fix it.

I am running on Premiere Pro CS 3.2 (So I can edit the footage)
I have NO color correction, just a modified scale down.
Very simple text every 6min. And it crashes... a lot. So I save... a lot, now I went to open the file. And it said CORRUPT FILE... wtf!!!!! So most of that work has been lost (went to auto save files).

Please, if anyone has any ideas. Let me know.

Dual Core 2 (e6600 2.4ghz); 2gig DDR2 ram; Raptor 10k system drive; 1.3 TB Raid 5; GeForce 7900 GT/GTO

A BSOD is a low-level driver or related hardware issue. The driver that is causing the BSOD is usually noted in the error.

Major candidates are graphice card (driver up-to-date?) or harddisk issues (scan for defects).

I've heard that about drivers... and I know my graphics card is uptodate... so I'll do the scan.

You dont think it's that i have too little Ram do you? (Always looking for an excuse to upgrade.)


Thanks.
And thanks for the move MOD.

Your 2GB of RAM will cause more disk activity for paging activity, so a disk related error is more likely to cause problems like this.

So 4GB is about as much as 32-bit XP can handle, if you're running Vista 64-bit, 8GB would be sweet.

An upgrade won't resolve your problem however, which looks like a bad disk to me.

This fix worked for some other AV equipment I was getting BSOD's with:
Unplug the network cable from the back of your computer while editing or dumping. Sounds silly but it worked for me...might solve your problem

As for the disk error, My Computer > right click your drive > properties > tools > Error Check

Then defrag your hard drive. If it is still a problem after that, then premiere is probably messing up the file, enable auto save and set the revisions to like 100 and time to like 10 min. That way when something goes wrong, you only loose 10min of work :)

I was using the microsoft wireless laser mouse 6000 the one that makes all adobe softwares 'jump' randomly....

was driving me nuts so i uninstalled the software....

then did some HEAVY HEAVY editing..... SO FAR SO GOOD!

PRAYING THIS WAS THE ISSUE!

I'm a postpro specialist for feature film. Tried many editing softwares for HD.
Premiere has very bad memory management.

I once edited a 90minute HD feature using Premiere + Decklink Multibridge, the project file bloats to +100MB!! Loading project itself takes 6-7minutes, frequent random crashes all the time.

I then have to cut the project into 10 minute parts. That way i can finish the edit.

After that, i move the Decklink to FCP and never use Premiere again for heavy or HD editing.

Recently a student of mine used Axio + Premiere CS3 to edit a feature. Same symptoms. Bad memory management, always crashes. He then resorted to Vegas as my recommendation.

Now i mainly use FCP & Avid & Vegas.

I think that's probably going to be the truth.

But I have to say... since I have uninstalled that freakin software... thing has been running like a champ!

I cannot disagree with mismanagment of memory... I think it has a lot to do with the titles for some reason. Just a theory but something probably go overlooked, or not refined with the titles...

again, either way, I'm getting products knocked out FAST again :)
