    Hey all, I basically need some help managing the export size of MP4 video files. I am using Hitfilm Express. I have a 1 hour 17 minute mp4 video from a screen recording app. This video is 1316x744 and takes up 570mb. I need to trim the last 25 minutes off, so I opened a new project with those...

    Hard Drive/Booting Issue (Please Help)

    Thanks for all the tips! I did exactly as you recommended actually and tested each RAM stick individually and the first three had multiple errors, more than one hundred. The fourth actually passed the test. So I tried booting with just that one stick an just the C drive connected and it worked...

    Hard Drive/Booting Issue (Please Help)

    OK so to test the hardware I started with a memtest since the most frequent BSOD was the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error. The test is 2.5 hours in on its first pass and is still running, but an absurd amount of errors have been found. Hundreds of thousands actually lol. Ill post a picture but its pretty...

    Hard Drive/Booting Issue (Please Help)

    Thanks for the replies everyone So I had to take a few days away from troubleshooting but trying again today I was able to boot (with only the C drive connected) and login and get to my blank desktop. It actually worked for long enough that I was able to copy the BSOD minidump files onto a...

    Hard Drive/Booting Issue (Please Help)

    Sorry about the smileys, fixed. And I made a bold one line statement showing the drive letter changes, thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I realized I screwed up, definitely regretting not just doing it through USB. EDIT: This is why I couldnt use USB...

    Hard Drive/Booting Issue (Please Help)

    Hey all, I'm not sure that this is even a very complex issue I just wanted to see if anyone has a quick solution that I am unaware of. I tried googling but the search terms I need to use are way too vague. My system specs in my profile are up to date so you can check that if needed for...

    Freezing on Starting Windows Screen when adding RAM

    Rtw - Cool good to know because it isn't on that list! So I'm currently running 6GB successfully and another, hopefully working, stick is on its way. Will update and post a picture of all 4 fancy flashing sticks once it's installed for nostalgia's sake. :) Thanks for all the advice guys!

    Freezing on Starting Windows Screen when adding RAM

    I am adding more of the exact RAM that I have been running on this board for 6 years so I don;t think it could be an incompatibility issue right?

    Freezing on Starting Windows Screen when adding RAM

    Ok so when I tried the new sticks independently before changing any BIOS settings, one stick would make it various distances into booting windows before it blue screened. Then I tried the other one and it booted up just fine. I can't believe I never tested them independently! :banghead: So it...

    Freezing on Starting Windows Screen when adding RAM

    Caring - I don't remember what timing it displayed but will check when I get home. Very Interesting. So it's possible that by having it set to Auto in the BIOS has slowed down my RAM ever since I built the computer? It could have been working faster all the time? I wonder why Auto would fail...

    Freezing on Starting Windows Screen when adding RAM

    Ferrum, Caring Thanks! I'll try these 2 recommendations when I get back to the computer later. I know everything is set to auto for the memory in the BIOS by default and I never felt comfortable playing around with it. Should I set the voltage/timing to what it says on the sticks? Because...
