hey i wonder if any one can help me i have a mpeg file that restarts pc when you play it or try to burn it to dvd with nerovision express so i converted and reencoded it to avi and now i can play it but it still restarts pc when i try to make a dvd from it. please can someone help it's driving me insane
Try putting the .avi file through DivToDVD free version and burning the DVD. If Nero still reboots make an .iso and try burning with DVD Decrypter. I don't know why it's rebooting but general trouble shooting is to isolate the problem. So that's one way you can start to track it down. What can make things funky too is I guess XP machines are designed to reboot if you get a fatal system error. So stuff that gets the processor overheated or invalid memory access may just reboot and it seems like it's coming from anywhere.
i figured out it was not the file or the program like i thought it is my new graphics card so i'm noe trying to figure out how to fix that
If it craps out after the PC is on for a while you might have a defective component. Lots of times stuff will work until it heats up if it's a hardware problem. You might try to exchange it. A good place for PC hardware advice is comp.os.linux.hardware It's Linux OS but it's still PC hardware.
