This "freezing" that you describe occurs with both Gigabyte and Asus boards with early versions of the BIOS.  Update your BIOS to the latest version - the problem was solved in BIOS releases in early March.

This cured the problem on my Gigabyte motherboard, and I know of one other user with an Asus board who took this advice and solved the problem.

Are you running any virus, spam, malware software while yu are editing?

How many processes do you have running after booting before you open Premiere when you open the Task Manager window and in the processes Tab after you check "show all"?

Harm,

your link in your post 8 leads to a Microsoft Exchange log-in screen, which appears to be trying to access your own computer?

Yes way too many!  Next time do screen grabs so they are readable  You really should have only 30-40.  Also notice 10 % of your RAM is being used.  You need to do a lot of tuning

Possibly your sluggishness is drive related; you have 1 7200 rpm drive and one of the fastest processors know to man!

For your processor a "balanced" system would typically be 4 drives additional to the boot drive (i.e. 2 RAID 0 7200 rpm arrays).

Jim

You might want to read what the bios update is for before you assume that is the blanket fix by itself btw.

Incase your wondering that is a ram compatibility update

P9X79 PRO BIOS 1010
1. Improve system stability.
2. Improve memory compatibility.
3..Enhance compatibility with some USB devices.
4.Fix PCIEx16 VGA card HD 7970 cannot be detected when the temperature of VGA less than -40.

There is a reason the turning off the Aero seemed to solve your ghosting and other video anomalies. When the Aero is on then Windows controls the Memory managment for the video/display. This also means there is allot more caching to ram to handle the frame buffer isolation. When people have pointed you to ram they were not incorrect on this. The MPE engine uses the system ram for the grand central station of data transiting between the CPU, video cards, and storage. If the timings on the ram are not syncing correctly to the ram controller in the cpu then your going to have random anomalies including drawing out on the screen because all of that data is transiting through ram as well. Think of it this way. If the memory controller sends a read request to a page on the ram that was prematurely wiped or not refreshed in time, then that data is garbage regardless of the rest of the data. You can manually set bios settings to try and get that ram to work or you can look at ram meant for that platform. BTW so everyone is aware, It seems Samsung has transitioned to 1.35V ram for their modules available in retail atleast from what I can see available in stock. That is tvery telling if they have done that since 1.35V requires better grade chips which raises the price of production.

Concerns about sluggishness on the time-line, involving scrubbing and random brief playback and trims, have been raised here before by newer users.....  What kind of responsiveness is to be expected, with a x79-based system like this one? 

For <50mbs GOP codecs ; for AVC intra 100-150mbs; for intermediate codecs 100-220mbs?  More or less instantaneous?  Tolerable tedium?  Outright insufferable?

BTW the Scrubbing performance has been a known issue with CS5.5 that was different than CS5.

Eric, in reply to your post (#10), what makes you assume that I did not discover this information for my Gigabyte motherboard before upgrading my BIOS?  I admit that it was an assumption on my part that Asus motherboards would have the same solution, but I know of another user who solved this probem with his Asus motherboard by upgrading the BIOS to 1010.

The rest of your response to me is irrelevant - my system functions correctly and does not, and has not in the past suffered from these problems.

to add to that Alan,

what processor are you using? and are you OCing?

Scott

Scott,

I am using the 3930K processor, which had this memory compatibility problem, which as I said originally, was solved by Gigabyte and Asus in BIOS releases in early March.

The processor is not overclocked.

Please do not think that I am attacking either ADK, or its personnel. 

I was simply trying to correct the misconception contained in this thread that this memory incompatibility is a current problem. It is no longer a problem, at least for a non-overclocked 3930K, provided the BIOS is updated.  This is evidenced by the OP stating that once he had updated the BIOS, the freezing ceased.

The system not freezing is not the only symptom the poster stated that is a sign of ram issues nor is that the only symptom of the ram issues. Ghosting is a frame buffer corruption issue. Now the question is where the frame buffer corruption is occurring. Is it on the video card or the system ram. Considering the Ghosting went away when the client turned off the aero then the answer is the system ram. When the Aero is turned off, then the video driver alone handles the memory management which uses less ram. Also the anomalies on preview with lines with the MPE engine is also due to a corrupted frame buffer. So yes the memory is still an issue and the assumption it's not is completely incorrect.
