Windows Movie Maker Crashes, Computer Hangs On Shutdown

[BigFattyPlus]

Howdy! I have a few issues that I don't know how to solve.

My first issue is Windows Movie Maker has been having issues with footage. I do videos on YouTube and usually record in 60fps. I had changed Fraps to record at 120fps on a suggestion by someone and for a week, WMM was fine with it. Then, it started having issues. MM would hiccup during playback while editing, and then crash after a few minutes. I figured MM couldn't handle that many frames, so I tested it with 60fps, and it would hiccup and crash on that. It will now only accept 30fps footage and it will still sometimes crash while editing that. It will also no longer accept mp4 files. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but to no avail.

My second issue is that for the past week, my computer has hanged on shutdown a few times, and I would have to manually shut it down with the power button. I hate doing that as I am afraid I am damaging my computer. I would love any kind of help. Please keep explanations simple as I am not very tech savvy and get confused easily. I thank you for your time and any help you could provide.

Can you please fill in all your system specs? That would be helpful.

Have you reinstalled Fraps yet? Maybe it is the one with issues.

When you shutdown from power button, do you get a windows did not shutdown properly warning and the F8 menu on next startup?

Any kernel power errors in event viewer?

Could you also let us know what Cleanup programs or Registry programs you have used?

No, I don't. Also, where is the event viewer?

I have not used any Cleanup or Registry programs that I know of.

The "hiccup" what you were talking about, happend to me too while editing 120fps. How much RAM is given to WMM? (If you have a program for that)

 

[BigFattyPlus]

How do i find out how much ram it is getting?

 

[GokAy]

Run "eventvwr.msc"
Expand Windows Logs - System
Check for Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power event 41

I didn't find anything like that in the event viewer.

I didn't find anything like that in the event viewer.

Tested it myself too, to make sure it worked, and I had the same problem.

If there is none, then it shouldn't be a problem, just an annoyance.

My new installation does it too once in every 3-4 days (have yet to ask in forums, only change was SSD and GPU). As long as you wait for hard disk to finish processing, you can shutdown.

Okay, I know it isn't Fraps because I also use Open Broadcast Software to stream, and when I try ti import the mp4s from that into MM, the transcoder crashes. So I convert the mp4s into avis and import them. I can edit them, but MM will still crash a lot.
