I updated the laptop to the most recent BIOS, so (in theory) that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm not getting anything in the event logs. I fired up task manager and watched the resource monitor. I don't see anything odd. It's chomping like crazy on the .dng file reading. Once in a while it appears to write a couple thousand bytes to lrcat-journal or or a preview.
It's using about 6 GB of RAM, no virtual memory . There's nothing else running so it shouldn't be hitting virtual memory. All the cores are happily churning away...
Is "dud" a technical term? BTW: she-who-must-be-obeyed, aka the wife, wandered in and commented on the "maybe time for a new laptop"... I won't repeat the comment I sure hope they have some great sales for Christmas!
OK, if I've gotta go buy a new box, I need y'all knowledgeable PS and LR folks to recommend some majorly killer PC laptops 'cause I don't figure either PS or LR are going to get smaller or become less of a resource og..
