TMPGEnc encodes to 1%, then my PC restarts

[Syntax]

Great guide.

Easy to follow for someone like me who usually doesn't mess with video files.

One problem though, I start the process in TMPGEnc and it gets to around 1%, my PC will just restart...

That isn't a lot of info...but does that bring up any possibilities to start with as to what is causing the issue?

Thanks,

Syn

Sounds to me like maybe your system is overheating? Encoding works the processor pretty hard...

Syntax, I think you will get more replies with a new topic, so I've split yours off.

I would suspect overheating also. You could pull the side cover off your computer and check for dust and make sure all the fans are working.

You could also direct a desk fan in there and try encoding again and see if that helps. If so, then overheating may be your problem.

Other things that can cause this are bad RAM modules, and probably a lot of other possibilities.

And welcome to our forums.

This is one of the easiest to check for... Go into your bios boot menu. Disable any "quick boots" or splash screens - then you'll be able to see your bios running a memory scan (remember the old computers where the memory had to count up every time it booted? this is typically disabled for modern pc's). This is the easiest way to check for memory errors.
