hello all,
i often run video conversion software to convert movies or tv shows to mp4 so i can wath on my ipod. i have over a period of time used several different programs, like videora, kongfusoft i think, 3gp, etc. i used to not have this problem, but: over the past month of two, whenever i run the program it frequently shuts the pc down entirely! then after i re-boot, if i run it again it generally runs without the problem the second time. this happens with a bunch of different programs; i tried to switch the prog when the problem started and it kept happening so i switched a few times.
someone suggested that it might be some kind of virus, OR that i might have more than one program that is trying to use some resource at the same time. i have un-installed each prog as i used the next one, so don't know about that, but anything is possible i guess. anyone have any suggestions on how i could possibly figure out what about a video converter causes my pc to simply shut off in the middle (it doesn't shut down, it simply turns off, all of a sudden)? i dunno if there's some virus my software missed, or if the idea of resources being over-used is possible. any thoughts, by all means lemme know! since it didn't ALWAYS do this, something's changed, but i can't narrow it down to a specific time and date to tell what i might have added or something. maybe i haven't un-installed the other progs correctly...?
thanks much--
