Hi,
I have a PC with Windows 10-64bit which has 16 GB RAM and an AMD FX 6300 Six Core Processor wiht 3.5 GHz. However, when rendering a video my system becomes incredibly slow (even browsing the internet is a pain, sometimes when writing the cursor lags) and Camtasia 9 needs 80-100% of my processor's capacity. The processor gets hot and I constantly get warning messages because of this.
So my question is: Is this normal or what can I do about this?
Regards
birgit

No, that is NOT normal.
You have what you need to do the job, plus browse and do whatever else you need.
My laptop has only 8GB ram, shared graphics, and I just installed an i7 processor.
Before the CPU upgrade, I had an i5, and could still do whatever I needed to do while rendering.
Did your computer come with Windows 10 pre-installed?
If not.

Fred, thank you very much for your answer and your encouragement. So I think I will try and contact the Techsmith support.

Just a quick side note, the CPU shouldn't be overheating.Maybe the cooling fan is malfunctioning and the overheating is causing the problems.A hot CPU will not function correctly.

Hey, Joe.
You are right, it was a bit misleading.
Browsing, working in Microsoft word, Photoshop (Creating my thumbnails for YouTube)
Stuff like that, I could do with the i5 and still do with the i7.

I should have read his post more carefully to begin with.
I looked right past the fact that his CPU was overheating.
My guess is the cooling system may have had issues for a while and now. Cranking up the CPU to render videos has gotten it to overheat and caused everything else to go wonky as well.
If you see this jester1966de Get that overheating under control in a hurry.
You can fry the processor and/or motherboard and related components rather quickly if you don't get rid of that heat.

Thank you very much, all of you! By now I had my computer cleaned and changed the fan. I also changed the HD to an SSD and made a clean installation of Windows 10. Now everything is running smoothly, except for the fact that while rendering the CPU is used for more than 70 to 80 per cent.
While Rendering, it is always going to eat up your CPU and Memory.
It has to utilize as much as allowed, to get the job completed.
Basically.
If you are doing anything while rendering, make certain it is not a load on the system, or you will get slowed down a LOT.
Good Luck
