CS3 - Video freezes on Capture and Playback - Please Help!

hello all,

 

here's problem:

when capturing footage via firewire mini dv, shot in standard dv, within standard ntsc-dv widescreen 48k project, picture freezes after 1 second.  audio can still heard , footage captured.  however, after footage has been conformed, , load clip source window , hit play, video again freezes after 1 second of play.  again, audio keeps playing , can move marker anywhere on clip , see footage indeed there, go play point - same thing, picture freezes after 1 second of play, making editing impossible.  clip being captured .avi , capture settings appear correct.

 

here's kicker:

- hdv video captures , plays fine.

- dv video captured correctly @ first, has been recent problem going on several weeks, after no changes system.

- biggest kicker - after trying capture, playback , edit hdv video, closed premiere, reopened, tried play captured dv footage , played fine suddenly!!!  closed program, re-opened , tried again - freezing problem , never played fine again...

 

here's specs (i can give more specifics later if needed, it's partner's computer):

sony pd-150 dv-cam (but recording on mini dv in standard dv mode, not dv-cam)

windows 7

intel core i7 3.20 ghz

asus x58 motherboard onboard audio , firewire

6 gb ram

nvidia geforce 9 series physx

 

please if have idea how solve crazy problem this.  thank you!!!

do have windows updates turned on? updates can mess things up. turn off if on.

 

try turn off physx , see if helps...you dont need except gaming.

try turning hardware acceleration down notch...see if helps.

 

is graphics card overclocked ? if , go normal speed.

 

defrag hard drives including pagefile - rid of un-needed on drive(s) give space free possible (before defrag )

 

update video card driver latest version. might have messed driver...

 

if have heat problem on card factor...
