Handbrake shuts down my pc everytime I use it

[SAWYER]

In the middle of a conversion my pc restarts, any other good suggestions? It runs fine on my Mac

PSU can't handle it? Overheating? RAM errors?

 

[ElFenix]

does it do it at the same point in the same file each time? some files don't seem to work right with it, in my experience.

 

[SAWYER]

I have tried several different files, not sure when it shuts down

It could be heat. Is this the bootcamp partition on the Mac, or a completely separate machine? Are you overclocking at all?

Try running something similar to Handbrake, that stresses the system, see if it happens then as well.

Interesting...just last night I tried using DVD Shrink on my XP boot, and clicking the Backup button causes it to immediately stop responding, and completely fucks up the shell, requiring a hard reset. Tried several different stored rips, one of which was from an old movie. Same thing after installing it on my 7 boot.

It worked perfectly on Dec 18th (last known shrink). I'm suspecting a KB...

Do you have a magicjack installed? That screws uo the SCSI/SPTI enumeration that some DVD software does. It hangs on me, and hangs other things, unless I unplug and then re-plug my magicjack.

Nah, no magicjack. However, I have a storage stick in the USB port that normally isn't plugged in...will remove and reboot later after I finish what I'm doing, see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, the only thing I've done since the 18th was install the Word 2010 compat plug-in (still running 2003), so I might need to revert that change.
