My System:

Athlon XP1900 1.7Ghz
512MB DDR Ram
2- 60GB HDD 7200RPM
Belkin Firewire Card
Matrox G-550 Video Adapter
Egosys Waveterminal 2496 Audio Card
HP DVD200i Burner
Pinnable Studio 8
Ulead DVD Studio
Arcsoft Showbix

My Problem:

Capturing Video from my JVC Mini DV Camera is no problem. WHen I go to make a disc however, or even an Mpeg or a disk image file, the system locks up hard after a few seconds in Arcsoft, and after about 40% converted in Studio 8. There is also a never ending beep one the system locks.

I have pretty much ruled out software, since the same problem occurs in different applications. Ive updated my Matrox Driver already.

Any suggestoins as to what this might be, what to look at etc, GREATLY apprciated.
