Won't run Encore or Premiere CS3

Nice computer, I bought it for video editing. I loaded Premiere CS3 and got the message that the computer had an incompatable sound card and I wouldn't be able to record sound. I tried it anyway and it worked. Next I loaded Encore CS3, loaded OK but could not open it, it would go as far as the"enjoy the blue-ray" blurb and the whole computer would freeze up and I would have to re-start. I disabled the DVD drive and it loaded, I then enabled the DVD drive but I couldn't burn a DVD. These are the primary programs that I use, as I had issues with both of them I just returned the computer.

I get most of my info from user reviews, that is why I am writing this this to share my experience.
