Freezing Problem!!!!!!!!

[vickynash]

Hey guys i ve been encoding some movies fr quite some time nw, and everythng was gud.

But now when i am tryin to do so my system freezes off and never responds the only thing i

could do is jus press my restart button. I ve first thought it mite be the source problem and

tried using different ones but no use, thn i ve tried different softwares like MEGUI, AUTOGK etc.

But still its the same no use, wat shld i do guys plz help me !

Overheating is likley the cause. Make sure your CPU fan is spinning. If it is, try cleaning your CPU's heatsink/fan. Possibly reapplying heatsink compound might help. Reseat your memory modules. If you are overclocking your CPU go back to it's normal speed. If none of this works, it's possible your power supply is failing.

When does it happen? Are you ripping directly from the dvd drive or have you ripped to the hdd and then converting?

It could be a hardware problem like overheating, memory, processor, etc.

[filmboss80]

Exactly what ripping software are you using? The 2 you mentioned are converter/encoders.

Also, do you mind running your posts through a spell checker?

[vickynash]

i use the both mentioned above and dvd decryptor and vobmerge and staxrip sometimes, and i ve been using a file from my hdd, and its a new one so i dnt thnk i shld hve a problem with tht and i feel tht its my processor problem bcoz i ve chkd in my EVENT VIEWER and in my ADMIN EVENTS i found some errors lyk : kernel processor power , kernel pnp, nvidia and still many errors wat i gotta do !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would answer, but your posts are such a mess in intentional spelling and grammar errors that I wouldn't know where to begin (notice that I used wouldn't and know, rather than "wudn" and "no").

First, Speak English.

Second, how about some useful information and basic diagnostics?

1. How long does the PC run before it freezes? A rough estimate is fine, but express this in standard time measurement units, such as minutes and hours. "quite some time" is an example of a completely useless time measurement.

2. How long do you let it cool down before the next attempt, answer #1 again, then determine and inform if longer cool-down times translate to longer run times. Also, do shorter cool-down times equal shorter run-times?

3. How long will it run if you do absolutely nothing, and/or with all running programs stopped?

4. How long will it sit in the BIOS setup screen?

5. Results of a Defrag, Chkdsk, and virus scan?

6. Do you understand that other than stating that your PC freezes up, you have provided virtually ZERO information that would help lead to a solution?

7. Have you tried repeating the encoding operation on a previously used source, which completed with no problem?

8. This file that you have on your hard drive. What type of file is it, and what EXACTLY are you doing with it when it freezes? A quick piece of advice would be to Stop Doing That.

Gud Spellun ther Supreme2k!!
I mite hav mised it!!

But to be fair, English might not be his first language, let's hope not newayz.



LOL!!


P.S.

I'm with the overheating theory.

1. The time varies , its not same all the time once it was kinda like 10mins and the other time 1hr and varies.
2. I waited for 10-15min everytime the freezing happens.
3. As per yesterday nite it ran for some 3hrs before it freezed (just with an utorrent running), nvr observed with no programs running, bcoz i jus shutdown whn no programs are there to run.
4. a max of 3sec
5.everythng was gud no errrors or corrupted segments durin chkdsk and i did a boottime virus scan, no problems with virus as well
6.Plz let me knw wat else info i shld giv
7.as i ve observed its not because of encoding , bcoz it got freezed once whn i was jus browing and was'nt encoding
8.i jus do nothin, whn encoding is in progress i jus chat on my IM or browse thts it

^NOAHTUCK

i too feel its an overheating problem bcoz frm yesterday i was getting some kinda long beep sound from my cpu which goes off after some 5min, i am running HWmonitor ill post the logs of it here in a while, which mite help u guys in helpin me better

#4. You must press the Setup key, be it F2, F1, DEL, or whatever, to enter BIOS setup. You appear to have given the time that the message stays on screen. Letting the PC sit in BIOS setup will eliminate Windows and almost all hardware from the equation. If the Pc reboots from this screen, you are either overheating or have a serious hardware issue. The next step would be to unplug ALL cables from ALL drives and remove ALL attached accessories and ALL cards other than video, if there is onboard video use that and remove any added video card. If it does NOT reboot after 6 repeat 6 hours, then the problem is somewhere else. The 6-hour time frame comes from doubling the longest observed period of running without a reboot. You don't have to watch it, if it has rebooted it will be obvious.

#3. Turn off ALL programs and WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. Again, the necessary time frame is 6 hours. Less than that leaves the question unanswered.

If you are using a software that provides temperature information, that might be useful in determining whether or not you are overheating. Just post the CPU temps over a period of time, both idle and while encoding. This ADDED INFORMATION will probably directly indicate what the problem is.

Noahtuck, there isn't a real language barrier. Just another kid using shitty txt/AOL speak. Purposely.

I was agreeing with you in a sarcastic way

After reading your computer report, I really don't see where any of the errors listed would be the cause of your problem. It may be coming down to air flow in your computer; perhaps a broken fan or dust-clogged vents. You will not know for sure until you remove the side panel and take a look at all the fans -- especially the cpu fan.

And thank you for trying harder to write things out. This is an international website, and English is a second language for many who use this forum.

i ve run some tests using HWmonitor and temperatures were almost upto 80 degrees , so i thnk heating is my problem and gonna put on an extra fan and will see if it would fix my problem and will write back after observing fr 2-3 days how the performance is !

So you actually never read my post after 3 days of typing gibberish?

[Nelson37]

If that is 80 Celsius, then there's your problem. If it's Fahrenheit, then it's something else

Go to the store and get me a dozen.

LOL, after he/she cleans up the melted sludge that was a cpu, a system wide upgrade will be necessary. In fact the house would probably have burned down and another short sale of a vacant lot in an already troubled housing market would have happened needlessly.
