Specs For A Basic Video Editing PC?

what you get should be built around your software. I am a video editor and let me tell you, it pays to look at the requirements for the software. AVID Xpress DV and Pro are very finicky about Firewire cards, Mobo, and even sound cards. Premier and Vegas are more forgiving but thier capture...

temperature sensor tape

For some reson the electrical tape isnt working. @Xbassman - where exactly did you see that article. Search turned up nothing and I looked at articles in "System Advice", "CPU Cooling", and "Fans and Control", and dont see anything that relates to it. If you can remember the thread can you...

temperature sensor tape

if scotch tape wont work I doubt electrical will either. I think it has to be able to conduct heat like a metalic tape or something. I could be wrong. Ill try the electrical tape just to be sure.

temperature sensor tape

I have an LCD temperature sensor panel for my case that has the orange tape on the ends of the sensors.. well it *had* the orange tape on it. As you can guess, need to find either more of this sensor tape or an alternative because scotch tape on the ends isnt working. It gives incorrect...

Need help picking out an UPS

ok great info. I think I get it now. I actually do game with it and also do media compression, which means it will be at a high load most of the time. I should assume to have atleast 420 + 100 for the monitor then from what I hear (~ a 500W capacity then) just in case the power goes. Otherwise...

Need help picking out an UPS

Ok I looked into it but now I have more questions. The one listed below says that the wattage is 325W. My PSU is a 420W. Does this mean that it wont supply the correct wattage or regulation that I need? Or am I just confused and it doesnt make a difference. Again, I am not too concerned...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

Definately the RAM. Did a 24 hour test to make sure it works - it does. Now I am looking into a UPS to protect me from this happening again since I think it started the night we had a storm and power problems. Thanks guys.

Need help picking out an UPS

wow, thanks a ton for all your help. Couple of more questions: does it matter what voltage or VA the ups have for my computer? keep in mind that I only need a minute or two to turn off my computer since I dont leave it on all the time. I see some that are 400VA, 500VA, 800VA, 1000VA, and...

Need help picking out an UPS

I dont need to much run time. I do media compression from time to time but I use Cleaner and if it crashes it automatically creates a dump file to recover. I probably only need about a 5 minute battery time for my computer. Would a line conditioner help me? They are only slightly cheaper...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

I am still doing the Prime95 test as I speak. Its hard to do a 24 hour MemTest or Prime95 because my sister-in-law is staying in the computer room and those fans are loud and have leds on them :). I did do a CPU Prime95 test for 8 and a half hours and then the power went out in a storm which...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

I ran Memtest86 using Probe last time with no problems but I decided to run it again with BIOS - All and it failed the second I started the test. I heard that BIOS - All didnt work with all mobos so I didnt think about it being a problem. But just to be safe I decided to borrow my friends RAM...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

Ok. Ran MemTest86+ for about 6 hours doing "All Tests", and found nothing. Its starting to look like its my motherboard to me but I cant be certain yet. The computer ran fine until I put the new CPU in and got a new case with a new PSU. I already put back in my old PSU, and watched the temps...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

Thanks, I downloaded memtest86 and will try it tonight. I did do the Prime95 little Ram test last night (forgot to add that in my post) for 5 hours and it didnt return any errors, so it probably isnt that. with DocMem I ran the full diagnosis but not the burn in. I heard from the systems...

i need help - failing prime95 torture test

I just ran the test as well and came up with errors. I have been having problems playing HL and UT2004, where the game would crash (not windows), get GPF in games (not in windows... yet) or my personal favorite, the computer reboots itself. However, I ran DocMem diagnosis and found no errors...
