Ok, well my wonderful 4 year old system is showing signs of failure.
Page file errors with do crash dump file to be seen. Seems like a motherboard or OS or HDD may be fucking up. Whatever...All recorded material is safe.
Because I have projects working right now that have deadlines, I am going to have to build a completely new system to reinstall everything as opposed to trying to fix the one I have now. All the while keeping the old machine running so..
Build the new one 'better' time.
Here is the question:
Any recommendations as to what works best? As far as SSD's or motherboard combinations? Power supply and video card? Any of these combinations that someone here has experience with and any suggestions?
I do know that I wish to stay with the Intel I7 and W7 setup. As per my favorite computer techs recommendation, I will just clone each stage of my OS (SSD) updates to another SSD and store it away in a fire safe or whatever.
I initially set my first recording PC up so that if one of the drives failed, I could just replace the drive with another and still keep my programs. It seems that RAID 1 configuration I have running is not so good when it comes to finding what the issue is with my system now. Strange blue screens for no apparent reason. OS is not able to even do 'System Restore'. It may be just a need to start the fuck over with complete reinstall of everything-including OS. But I have shit to do and can while building a new tower.
Time to build one for the next 5 years...
I reluctantly have $2000/or whatever needed to spend tomorrow. No online ordering. I will be purchasing from my local MicroCenter here in town.
Any insight?
I'm actually going to make popcorn now so this will be just what I am doing.
And maybe some
