just a check... are you ram previewing with audio?  maybe try turning off
the audio on the preview panel?  I ran into something once where the audio
file caused the ram preview to stop very short...

I've also seen oddities like only able to preview like 10 frames of a super
simple 1080p comp with no explanation..  flushing all memory and stuff, and
removing audio seemed to fix it if I recall..
