N80 Restarting A.K.A. "WSOD" when playing large mp...

I love Anime's so I'm converting my "RMVB" or "AVI" video files from my pc to "MP4" so that i can watch in my N80.
here is the setting when i convert the files to MP4:
Video
-resolution is "352x288 (CIF)"
-frame rate(FPS) is set to "auto"
-Bit rate is set to "512"
Audio
-im just setting it to "mono" and "128kbps"
file size: is almost 110mb
there are two situation that i observed before the WSOD is happening:
1st situation:
when i try to play the mp4 file using "imaging folder---> realplayer".
2nd situation:
when i try to play the mp4 file using "gallery--> images and videos".
both situation makes my n80 restart A.K.A "WSOD" but the difference is it is restarting more often when im using the 1st situation that i couldnt enjoy what im watching.
In the 2nd situation i can play up to two 30 mins MP4 videos and then on the 3rd video usually WSOD will appear.
can someone tell me why this is happening? And this is only happening when im watching Video. Is this a firmware bug? pls help thanks.

yeah white screen of death... im thinking of that too. im suspecting 3 things why this is happening
-the firmware
-version of realplayer
-or the converted file itself
if it's the converted file, can you please recommend a video converter that will convert a file that is compatible with nokia n80/n80ie... im using "xilisoft video converter" right now, maybe not recommended for nokia files. theres a lot of automatic setting their for lots of device but there's none for nokia.
and also, is their somebody also experiencing this? i already read many threads here but did not find anything the same like this. thanks :-)

By the way i have the latest firmware for my n80IE
V5.0719.0.2
24-05-2007
RM-92
Nokia N80(12)
thanks in advance

hi scoobyman
actually i already read that thread, and my settings are correct except for the "bitrate"... he said that the maximum recommended bitrate is "350 kbps"
my setting for bitrate is "512kbps"
i think that 512kbps is still ok in n80, because when i try to look at the properties of the "recorded video" of my n80. here are the properties:
(ORIGINAL PROPERTIES OF RECORDED VIDEO ON N80)
video
-Bitrate is 574kbps
-format mpeg4
-size/resolution 352x288
-frame rate is 15 fps
sound
-format mpeg4aac
-bitrate 0kbps
-sample rate is 16000hz
-channel is mono
as you can see, the recorded video file of n80 has bitrate of 574kbps
here is my setting when im converting my PC file for my n80:
(MY SETTING IN CONVERTING FILES TO MP4)
video
-Bitrate is 512kbps
-format mpeg4
-size/resolution 352x288
-frame rate is 15 automatic
sound
-format mpeg4aac
-bitrate 128kbps
-sample rate is 44100hz
-channel is mono
i dont exactly know if theres a problem in my sound setting but i think the video
settings are correct. and also according to el_loco
"Audio: NB-AMR, WB-AMR or MPEG4 audio in mono or stereo, up to 128 kbps @ 44.1 KHz.
Sample rate."
that makes my sound setting also correct.
i dont really know why this is happening, im suspecting 3 things here:
-a bug in firmware
-version of realplayer
-or the converted file itself
if its the converted file can you please recommend a good video converter for nokia.
thanks =)Message Edited by wicked on 05-Jul-200703:22 PM

Boatmoter, welcome to the forum.
Have you checked to see if the computer is overheating while gaming. Games are intense and can cause heat to rise. This can definitely cause the computer to restart unexpectedly. There are many FREE programs that you can use to check the temps.

5530 XM Restart when playing music

my 5530 is XM Restarted when i trun the set when playing music please help me in this regard

Is the phone restarts only when playing music..? o
There is this issue on 5530xm wherein the phone restarts especially when answering a call or if phone locks up when you are loading some applications, then it restarts. We are still waiting for Nokia to post an update for this issue.
Nokia 5530 Xpress Music
v11.0.054
"How We Respond Is Who We Are..."

Sometimes my Nokia 5800XM restarts when playing Mo...

Sometimes it restarts when playing long length videos, so i wanna know is it normal?
If you found my post useful hit the White Star.

I have Nokia N97 Mini. It has exactly the same problem. You can listen to music through the phone, bit when you put the headset no matter on which player, because I also bought LCG jukebox, the player restart every 2 seconds and hangs on 1 song form which repeats 2 seconds again and again. Neither restart of the player nor restart of the phone solve the problem. I was with 11.0.45. firmware. Two days ago I updated the firmware with new one 12.0.110.C01.01.
The problem remains.
It is strange that if you use an ordinary mp3 player headset the problem desapear and the music is running smootly, but don;t get a microphone and also no controls form the headset for the music, so in conslusion it is only with the nokia headset. I haven't test it with another type of nokia headset yet.
Please if someone have a solution, post it here.

"Computer restarted because of a problem" crashes when playing Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2

My MacBook Pro 2011 keeps on crashing and restarting itself when playing 15 minutes or so of Portal 2 or Left 4 Dead 2 through Steam.
I get a warning saying something along the lines of "The computer restarted because of a problem etc..." and then the MBP boots back up.
I've verified and repaired the disk and its permissions and I reset the PRAM (as recommended in a couple of blogs I found).
I just loaded L4D2 up and 5 mins in the crash happens again. This time the system rebooted without the warning screen I mentioned before.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to prevent it? I can't seem to find any conversations directly related to Steam or the 2 Valve games causing this crash.
I used to run a Windows partition on the MBP through Bootcamp. That never had any issues running games but I recently removed it to free up some space.
I'll post my error report below in another post if that helps.
Thanks!

When playing any audio the audio quality on my Thunderbolt display steadily worsens over an hour period and becomes garbled. Restarting the media player fixes it. Does not occur when MacBook Pro is undocked.

When playing audio/video on my MacBook Pro docked to Thunderbolt display the audio quality steadily worsens until it is garbled beyond understanding. I don't know if it occurs when using the MacBook undocked. It takes about an hour to become noticeable and steadily worsens. Simultaneously when the computer speaks the time this is also gargled. As the problem develops it sounds like there is a static halo around each spoken word.

Hi GeoChester,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are experiencing some sound issues on your Mac that worsens over time. In this situation, the first troubleshooting step that I would recommend would be to reset your computer’s PRAM. To do this, please follow the instructions in the following attached article.
OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Best regards,

Mac Crashes when Playing Games

The Mac described below sometimes completely freezes, requiring a restart (but not getting a grey screen) when playing CPU-intensive games. It starts to lag badly, then the screen gets messed up (windows leave trails), then eventually the entire computer freezes. The reason I say "games" is because this has never happened in Final Cut Express or anything, but this problem started recently (a month ago) after I upgraded to 10.5.8 so it might not be just for games.
It seems to crash rarely (once every one or two weeks) but in the past few days it has been worse (it crashed three times today). My guess is that it's an OS issue, so I put it under the Leopard forum. I know that this can be complicated to fix, but does anyone know if this is a known issue?
P.S. The apps it has crashed so far on: Age of Empires II, Phun, Super TuxKart, Minecraft, X-Plane

The following will help you find and use it.
Try running the extended version of your Apple Hardware Test . It's not perfect, but may flag something.

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Apple tv freezes when playing rented movies

This is a new issue for me. Every time I rented a movie from the Apple TV(3Gn) the movie doesn't download or freezes. Sometimes the Apple TV restart by itself. Also when I play movie trailers, sometimes it doesn't download the trailer completely. I ran a speedtest and the downloads are above 20Gbps. By the other hand, Nexflix runs excellent without any problems at all. Please I need help to fix this situation. Thanks!

That may indicate interference. Netflix adapts to the connection whereas iTunes content is fixed. First try rebooting ATV and router. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).
If on wifi try ethernet. Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report, look for signal strength and noise.

Windows 7 Crashes/Freezes when playing ANY Video files

lets see can anyone get their head around this one as it is driving me round the bend.
So... I have a media centre PC connected to my HDTV by VGA cable. I ran the PC on XP for a long time but last December, I upgraded it to Windows 7
along with my laptop.
Cue 5 months of seamless media usage and network integration - it
worked like a dream and I played both HD and SD content with ease.
About two weeks ago, I was watching an HD '.mkv' file in Windows Media Centre and about 10 minutes into the video, the video file just Froze - both the video and the audio. I had to power down and restart the machine and started the video file again. About
5 minutes after re-starting the video file, it hung again (not at the same place in the video). I then went and watched the video on my laptop where
it worked fine.
A few days after this (first time I had used it again since it hung up) I began watching an SD '.avi' file. About 1 minute into the video the display lost it's signal (the little built in 'no signal' graphic came up) and after a further 15 seconds, the audio
cut out as well.
This latter behaviour is now happening every single time I try to watch any kind of SD or HD video of any file extention. This problem is also independant of what video player I use (windows media centre and windows media player classic) After a minute or so
the display cuts out and the audio quickly follows it.
Suffice to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a good bit about computers I
decided to try and solve the problem taking the following steps.
1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt its a compatibility issue here. After doing this the problem still persisted, exactly the same as before.
2) I checked the date of the drivers for my video card (MSI nVidia 6200) and seen that they were dated sept 2009. I went onto the nVidia site and found the latest win7 drivers dated april 2010 - I installed these but still the problem is there.
3) I then thought, maybe its a problem with the actual video card hardware itself. When I built my machine the parts supplier accidentally
sent me two of the same video card so I swapped out the existing one for a brand spanking new version of the same card. The problem is still EXACTLY the same.
So yes -I am rather annoyed and frustrated at the moment as I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how it went from working to not working almost overnight.
I'd like to add also that the display is perfect when doing anything else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listen to music etc and it is absolutely no problem.
Put on a video and it cuts out the display like I have explained.
halp.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Upgraded Computer Routinely Crashes when playing Video games

I had an "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC" for a few years, but about a year and a half ago, I upgraded the graphics card and the power supply. My new power supply was a Corsair TX 650, and my new graphics card was an
ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire. Everything went fine until about a month ago (so I had about a year of smooth sailing with this setup).
Usually after 5-10 mins of playing any video game, my computer starts getting hic-hupc (visual and audio lag, as well as input lag), and crashes soon after.
This problem tends to happen most when playing video games, but it also happens at random times when I am not doing anything demanding on my computer.
I get short bits of lag (visual, and sound lag). It starts up at distanced intrevals, but slowly gets more frequent. Eventually, the computer either freezes, or I get a blue screen.
I have cleaned up the dust in my computer numerous times. It didn't really help.
I have updated drivers after doing a full system restore on my computer (along with updating other windows related things), that did not help either.
I thought getting the drivers updated had solved my problem, but when I was playing a video game today I ran into the same issue. Which video game it is is not really a detail, since this happens with almost all games.
I had originally thought this was related to CPU temperatures, but I installed a program that monitors that and everything was within the 40-50 degree range. I'm told this is normal from my friends who get higher temperatures and yet do not run into this problem.
I'm on windows 7.
I will provide more info if needed. This problem has been ongoing for a few months now.
TL;DR:
Computer randomly starts lagging-up/freezing. I sometimes get a blue screen and I sometimes don't (meaning I have to restart the machine myself).
Problem happens more often when I am gaming, but it can also happen randomly at any given time.
Thanks in advance to any who can help.
In the next post I will give some info about my machine.

Here is the info of what I have:
1. Intel Core I7 (It also says: "860 @2.80GHz 2.80Hz" in the ControlPanel->System and Security -> System tab)
2. ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire
3. Win7 64bit
4. Driver for Catalyst: Version 12.104.0.0 (for the GPU)
5. Corsair TX 650
6. 8.00 GB of RAM
7. i) The computer did come with the OS (win7 64bit), but it wasn't updated. To update it, I went to the search bar in the START menu and typed something along the lines of "Windows update", which took me to a seperate window, where I could let the computer update itself.
ii) The original product did not have the Power Supply it currently has, or The graphics card it currently has. I bought those two myself to modify the machine.
The original product was a "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC". I believe that is the name for it. The System tab in control panel simply says "HPE-150f"
8. Monitor resolution 1920x1080, connected by DVI connector.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
I also used a program called Speccy, which gives you info about your computer.
About my BIOS, Speccy said:
Brand: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: 5.15
Date: 25/06/2010
So I went to the following site and updated my BIOS:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4120554&softw...
It didn't help anything, I still get the exact same crashing.
Lastly, here is an image of the blue screen I am getting:
I also made a thread on the AMD support forums for my GPU's manufacturer, That thread can be found here:

Thanks in advance to any who can help. I can provide more info if needed.

Pictures are tinted red when playing on TV

Has anyone experienced and/or solved this issue? When playing pictures from the library (not streaming) they are all tinted with a reddish hue. This happened after a few hours of normal operation. I restarted the machine and it did nothing to help the problem. i checked all the cables, the component cables are set correctly.i checked the TV colour menu, and everything is set correctly. i set the machine back to factory standards and after syncing the library again, i still get that red tint.
i bought this as a gift to a family member, but it's been more of a hassle than a gift...
anyone has any ideas?

Sounds odd.
Do movie/video trailers look red too? If so I'd suspect a loose connection in the leads or a failure of the TV component input or AppleTV component output - can you try a DVD player or something with component output to see if it narrows it down to AppleTV?
I assume the photos look ok on the synced computer - it is possible that the synced computer has a badly uncalibrated monitor and that the user has made the photos look good on the monitor which then causes them too look bad on a decent display. long shot that though. Is the famly member syncing from PC or Mac?
Any chance the images are in some peculiar colour space which AppleTV isn't handling?
Can you burn some images to a CD/DVD and display them via a DVD player - if so and they look odd it's likely to be the images.
Any example images you can post?
