Hi guys,

I have been a user of Sony Vegas for many years and I recently bought a new PC in order to edit my youtube videos and my films.

I installed Sony Vegas Pro 13 and I have been using it for a few weeks and it's been absolutely fine. However, until recently I have when I start Sony Vegas the loading bar gets stuck on 'Initialising GPU Acceleration' and my whole computer crashes and it restarts. I even tried downloading a trial of Vegas 14 and I got the same error so I have had to uninstall both of them.

I have tried holding Control + Shift to reset my preferences but I still get the error. My Graphics card doesn't have an AMD Catalyst Manager either its just a normal AMD Installer so I couldn't reset it or enable the GPU Acceleration. I need the program to work for my videos ASAP so I would really appreciate the help. I have listed my pc specs below and I am also using 2 AOC monitors:

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers guys,

Ghulam :)

Newer AMD RX480 requires new Crimson software, NOT Catalyst. Make sure you are using right one?
