Video/audio editing software

I'm not a video editing expert but a while back I tried out the free version of Lightworks. https://lwks.com/pricing
(I'm a bit suprised it hasn't already been mentioned).

I think the free version is limited to 720p, but it seemed like it would be able to get the job done if that was sufficient. I found the interface relatively simple but I haven't used any other video editing software to compare it to.

Perhaps it is so inferior that others didn't think it was worth mentioning! If that is the case I'd be glad if someone can let me know!
 
I am off to London this week, but I will take up some of the suggestions after that. Thank you very much, al of you. The computer was put together by what turned out to be a quite unreliable supplier. I subsequently handed it over to the AKASA importer, who said they never had any overheating issues, but even so could not get this combo to function flawlessly. As for the software, all I need is something simple to use that does not require too much from the hardware, and can synchronize audio and video using the camera audio and the audio from the external recorder.

Video editing places demands on the hardware mostly due to the video files themselves, anything high-res or high-framerate will tend to strain the computer, regardless of which software you use to edit it. Being built for "real" editing, DaVinci Resolve has some settings to reduce the strain on the computer, although you'll have to look up a tutorial on that as I can't name them off the top of my head! :D
