Streaming Hardware Question

I am wondering if anyone can help me understand what can fix this problem. The embedded picture is not my actual machine, but rather something I saw online. On my machine,
I see a lot of input drops and I am wondering what is causing that. Is it that my computer processor (Quad Core Duo), a problem with my capture card (BlackMagic), a problem with the program (Adobe Live Media Encoder) or a problem with my Internet (50mbps)?

The machine has 8 gb of RAM, there might be an Internet browser running (I use this program to livestream to Facebook, so a browser with Facebook may be open) and I am not sure how to set execution priority.

50mbps downlink but what's the uplink speed on your Internet link?

In Flash Media Live Encoder, what version are you running and what options do you have set?

Any interesting tidbits in the Encoding Log tab from the above screenshot?

There is no listing at all for the dropped frames.

I am at 20 minutes with 5400 dropped frames.

If you save the stream to a file instead of streaming it to the Internet, are you still experiencing dropped frames?

Uncheck the URL streams and check the Save to file option.
