It seems to be just that clip for some crazy reason. I used a file converter and converted the file back to the same file type (redundant I know, but I wanted to see what happened) and it worked perfectly except for a small dip in quality (to be expected i suppose). Some wierd corrupted data or something? IDK. Thanks so much for the help guys. I'll probably run some of the things suggested on here anyway as they seem like they could be helpful.

New development. When I now try to put that specific clip into Vegas, it immediately crashes. If i chop off a part where i accidentally switched input on the capture device, it will accept the clip without crashing, but will not render... Is it possible this file could be corrupted in some way?

I did and it kept coming up with errors that were from XP :? It seems like the catalyst is Sony Vegas. Thats what kick starts all the crashing. I reinstalled vegas and that didn't help. It all worked fine until I tried to render a typical video. It seemed so random. Any other suggestions?

Ok, well it all started a day ago. I tried rendering some HD footage in sony vegas and my comp blue screened. It has done this before. I rebooted and tried again and it blue screened again. This happened multiple times. Usually, I am able to render HD footage easily, but this time something is wrong. Now, my gadgets randomly stop working, I tried to system restore and the latest restore point was yesterday, and my windows manager keeps crashing. Things are looking quite bad. I am wondering if any of you know what my next step should be. Im running windows 7, quad core i7 processor, 6 gb ram, 1 tb harddrive if that matters. Thanks in Advance!

I went for the 500 gb. Go onto newegg.com and check out the hardrives on there. You MUST buy a laptop hard drive or it will not fit. I got a Western digital 5400 rpm but i know that some of the 7200 rpm ones work as well. A lot of people buying on Newegg are buying for their PS3, so if you read the reviews, most of them say if it worked well...

Dude a similar thing happened to me on LBP. I'm guessing that the ps3 may have been trying to save or something when you shut it off (do you remember if you shut if off with the manual switch on back or the one on front?) so it corrupted your data like the guy said earlier. If it is corrupted, there is nothing you can do to recover it. Nothing. If you are lucky, deleting the save files may work. Also, you may want to reinstall the game as well. If you aren't so lucky.... well you may have to boot your ps3 into safe mode and then go through options in that to check for and delete corrupted data. I never was able to delete my LBP corrupted data and the problem spread, eventually stopping my browser from working (?!) it only went away when i upgraded my hard drive and backed up my data on an outside source.... Like i said earlier, delete that data manually and hope all is well. good luck

Alright, i just ordered it. I want to thank all you guys for everything you have helped me with, especially Jun_aka_pekto. I'll post a follow-up on the comp when i get it, and perhaps send you guys a pm so you can check. Thanks again for everything.

So basically, this is a green light? Not like im putting this on you, hahah, im just asking if you think this would be a good purchase? Oh its price is $1383. Also, it asks if i want "Xtreme Performance in SLI/CrossFireX Gaming Mode Supports Single Monitor" or "Non-SLI/Non-CrossFireX Mode Supports Multiple Monitors" under the multiple video card settings... i plan to only have one moniter atm, so should i choose single? or doesn't it matter because i don't have multiple video cards? Aaaannnddd the final question. How many USB ports would come with this? It never really asks, but it has to come with some right? On the motherboard expansions it mentions USB slots, so would i have to get an expansion card?

Yeah, i just read you have to change the liquid in the system, so imma go with fans. But otherwise, this should be able to run Sony Vegas 10 and get through all HD footage right? And also, this stuff all works together im guessing. It seems to me that configuring all this ish together would cause problems, but idk. I think im gonna buy this if it all works.... also, should i get a graphics card with a higher video memory or is that good enough? They have another GTX 460 with 1gig video memory for only 20 bucks more....

Ok so i went to that cyberpower site and built a pc i believe would be perfect for me. I think it's all good, but i'd like to quick post the specs for you guys to have a look at just to confirm that this isn't going to cause me troubles or anything....

It starts from their Gamer Infinity Series if that mattters:

-Intel® Core™ i7-950 3.06 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1366

-NZXT Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan (Enhanced Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dBA)

-3-Way SLI Support) MSI X58 Pro-E Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFire DDR3 Mainboard

-6GB (2GBx3) DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory Module

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB 16X PCIe Video Card

-600 Watts - XtremeGear Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready

-1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (do i need a hard drive cooling fan?)

-Sony 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive

-22" Widescreen 1920x1080 Sceptre X226W 5ms (Viewable 21.5 inch) LCD (Black Color) w/ Built-in D-Sub & DVI Input

-External USB hub (i wasn't sure how many the comp would actually come with if i didn't get this.)

-Windows 7 and office.

So, what do you guys think? And a few quick questions: Do i need a Flash Media Reader/Writer?

-Do i need a network card if im using a wired connection?

-IEEE1394 Card necessary?

-Will i have to install OS or will it come installed?

This could be the final step guys!!! I can't believe how much you've helped me. Honestly, i didn't realize how clueless i was at the beginning. I be screwed without all this help.
