BSOD when trying to convert videos.

Me again...another problem...

I keep trying to convert my AVI video files to DVD format, or MPG, and all I get is a blue screen about halfway through. At no other time, doing no other thing does this happen.

I've tried using ConvertXToDVD, Format Factory and WinAVI Converter.

They all do the same thing. It's driving me batty, my DVD player is retarded and won't play discs with AVI's on it properly, so I need to be able to convert them.

This is from BlueScreenView of the last three times I've tried. Please help mee!

Can't read that mate as it's too small.

It points towards dodgy RAM, as converting an avi to DVD puts great pressure on memory.

I am having the same trouble as Mooley is Session. But what I would ask is if you have checked your fans and made sure that your airflow is not restricted. May be that the inside of the case needs a good blowing out. Typically video converting requires a good amount of processor power and generates a lot of heat, which could lead to your BSOD. If none of these seem to be the culprit then you have to try and backup to when you think the problem started and what, if any, changes to your system you have made since then. It could also be a RAM problem. You will just have to start at the top and work your way through it. Keep us posted all alone the way and perhaps something will jump out at one of us that could help.

My first thought from what I can read is RAM but could also be a number of other reasons.

Thanks guys. Damn photobucket..



That should be better.

It's been doing it since a clean install. I haven't put anything on the computer that I haven't used in other computers and they've been fine.

Is there a sure way to test my RAM without going through bloody memtest things and pulling bits out of my PC?

What version of Blue Screen View are you using & where did you down it from?

Was it directly from NirSoft

Almost 100% sure it was from the nirsoft site, and it'd be the latest version, 1.20.
There a problem with it?

Gman may know of something else, but the most sure fire method is to run one stick at a time, while trying to duplicate the error. There are various memtest applications out there, if you go that route I would recommend one that runs from boot in order to test the memory prior to it being reserved by the OS.

No, not an issue if you got it from NirSoft. There are a few dodgy versions of it out there pretending to be legit but they're not.

I'd agree with ferg, one stick at a time is the best & quickest way to eliminate the memory from the puzzle. Memtest is way way too slow.

You mentioned a clean install?

Are all your drivers good? have you updated, changed or added any since your last known good condition?

Drivers are another blatant cause of BSOD
