Complete power failure when using video editors...?
No clue if you can help with this but any pointers would help. So I'll start off by saying that I do YouTube videos for gaming, and I've used both VideoPad Video Editor (2.41) and Sony Vegas Pro 12 (build 3xx) for editing and rendering. The first problem I thought was a coincidence. I was downloading a music file from Chrome (which was open to YouTube) with VideoPad in the background, simply idling, when the PC just hard shutdown on its own. (Only had VideoPad, Chrome, and a folder window open) Me thinking it was a coincidence, I turned it back on and went back to doing the stuff from before. The problem only arose again last night when I decided to do a test render with Vegas 12. Only a four minute clip, I told it to render and walked out of the room. When I came back, the PC's power was off. Turned it on again, told Vegas 12 to render again, and the same thing happened, power failing at less than 10% complete. The thing that really makes me scratch my head is that all the diagnostic tools I knew how to use, including reliability history and event viewer, tells me nothing useful. The only event logged is that the previous shutdown was unexpected. No technical details were given. There is no BSOD, it just simply loses power. I have a feeling that this is related to my PSU.
