I converted several AVI programs to DVD with no issues and then all of the sudden now my computer crashes and tries to reboot after 25-30 minutes of video is converted.
I have tried no less than 5 programs and the results are always the same. I probably did download software between my successful conversions, but I do not remember what those programs were. I think one was a DIVXcodec. I have unistalled that one but the problem remains.
Help - what can I do. I know there must be some software or setting causing the problem because the process worked previously. All of the programs I have tried cannot be problematic.
Running XP with SP2. 2.4 processor. Disc space is ok -
I have an Intel P4 2.8GHz and at 100% it seldom goes over 50C (130F).
I think you can find the max for your CPU using Google, but 80C (190F) sounds high.
80 is too high. are you using a laptop? if so you need a cooling pad. if not be sure your cpu fan is turning and that the heatsink fins are not gummed up with dirt or varnish.
