    PC crashes with video rendering


    Whenever I render large files, my computer crashes. When I look at task manager CPU usage fluctuates between 80–90%. No more than 4 GB is used, though, even though I have 12 GB installed.

    I have this problem with Windows Movie Maker, even tried Sony Vegas Pro Demo, which seemed more stable, but eventually crashed as well. I don’t get a BSOD, by the way.

    Also, the RAM works fine when I use VST instruments.

    I have two modules of 2GB (which came with the laptop) and two of 4GB. I tried the same with only 2 x 2GB and 2 x 4GB, but both attempts failed as well. Are all my modules defective?

    I even made a clean install. It seemed to improve, because once I could edit a big file (+15 minutes), which would normally crash. But that’s like a hit and miss.

    Am I missing something? The one thing that could be the problem is the PC getting too hot? I tried memtest (the one from Windows) and it crashed...

    Does the video software use the GPU to do the conversion? Or is it all in software? If it's GPU assisted try disabling the GPU usage.
