Video encoding and compression is about the most CPU intensive thing that your computer will ever do. It will definitely find any problems with your CPU cooling. That would be the place to start. Make sure all your fans are working properly, especially your CPU fan and that you have good air flow through your computer. Here is one temperature monitoring software but how well it works depend on your particular PC. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php Other things could be a IRQ, driver or registry conflict. A bad memory module. A very fragmented hard drive or errors on your hard drive. Have you defragmented lately and checked you hard drive for errors?
i know this resonce took forever but it was the cpu cooling.....there was dust in the heatsink.....thans for the right on advice
