Hey, i need someones help to tell me what i can try, I keep getting alot of programmes not responding if i am running a couple of things at one and try to close it down, also my comp turns off when i try to encode an avi file ready for copying to dvd format, anyone suggest anything?? thanks for your help!!!

right now, your computer is using alot of the memory/processor, and it wants to automatically restart. Follow these steps to disable it:

go into "my computer"
click "view system information"
click on the advanced tab
click settings under "startup and recovery"
uncheck "automatically restart"

dont worry, this is a common question at tech-forums!

^That will do nothing. By default, when the Windows XP operating system crashes an automatic reboot of the system occurs.



Please list your current PC configuration so that we may assist you further.

are you running pentium 4, celeron, athlton, sempron?

the most important thing to talk about is your memory. How much is in your PC?

amd athlon 64 3700+ 2.4Ghz 1GB memory (2x512mb) thanks for the help!

i think were digging to deep to fast here. i would start out with a virus and spyware scan and see what you come up with.

then see how many programs and what programs are running at the time.

see how many programmes are running at the same time as the encoder? should i shut some of them down and see?
