Hello All...I'm a newbie here...

I'm trying to convert my AVIs to DVD's using Cucusoft AVI Converter. Everytime I start the program or any converting program, my computer shuts down. It's driving me crazy.

Has this happen to anyone else? I would love some advice on this...Thank you so much in advance :)

Thank you so much! Here goes...

Let's start with your PC's specs,

Processor, - Gateway
Available HD space, - Main 13g 2HDD - 55
RAM, - 256
OS, - XP
File system (FAT32,NTFS) - NTFS (I think)

I have Cucusoft and WinAVI and I'm trying to convert them to MPEGs but my computer goes to standby after 30mb into the conversion process. I have no idea what to do. I have disabled all the standby buttons and still it goes in mandatory standby.

Do I need to update something?

Okie, Dokie there LadyA

I'm hoping your processor is a 1.2 Ghz or better and I'm hoping you have 6 to 8 GB of hard drive FREE !

Otherwise it might be too much of a job for your PC (maybe you can get that info for me ?)

You're running XP soooo, let's free up your resources somewhat as you've only got 256 of RAM available.

Start button, run, type in: msconfig, click, "OK", click on the startup tab - click "Disable all, click apply, then "OK" then "OK" to restart your PC.

When you open again, try your proggy.

If that doesn't work then try this as it's the newest version -

Let me know how you do -

Hey ScubaPete,

I found the solution to my problem. I actually went onto an XP board and found the answer. My computer is overheating. That's why it was shutting down. (I feel so stupid!) Anyways, I've placed several small fans by the computer and have them going when I'm running my conversion programs.

Thanks so much for your offer of help. I really do appreaciate.

LadyA
