Rendering crashes  my computer

When I try to render my project, it's twenty-one minutes, it locks up my computer. Everything freezes. I have to reboot.
I read thru alot of the search files and haven't found anything that I think applies.
I'm running FCP5 on a G4 1.25, 2 gigs of ram. All media is on a separate drive.
The project was captured from VHS so I had no time code.
I have checked my setup for capturing and sequences and they match.
I have dumped the preferences, repaired permission and even verified the disk.
What am I overlooking?

Try this:
Select the clips for half the sequence and Render Selection. If it crashes, reboot and select the other half and Render Selection. If either selection renders w/o crashing, then you might have a corrupt media file in the other half. Keep narrowing the selection by half until you locate it.

  • Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall.  Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all.  tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

    So I tried to update to the newest Itunes.  It locked up my computer part way thru the install.  Black screen, computer turned itself off.  Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down.  I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist.  the other apple programs do, but no itunes.  when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded.  I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs.  however, i can open itunes.  it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall.  So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it???  I'm out of ideas.  running windows vista.

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • Firefox crashes MY COMPUTER!!! When I open it, my computer BLUE SCREENS then turns off!!!

    Within the past few months, I have not been able to use Firefox at all. It started crashing my whole computer, making the whole thing go blue screen before shutting down, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it TWICE, the second time sacrificing ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS, and even after that, it STILL CRASHED MY COMPUTER! My college professors prefer that I use this browser to do my WebCT assignments (and *tests*) and I have been unable to do so.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac
    <pre><nowiki>Mac:
    Profile folders are in one of these locations:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
    ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
    The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder. </nowiki></pre>

  • Flash player crashes my computer when used . . . please help!

    the newest versions of flash player required for use in you tube and hulu crash my computer and causes it to reboot. I'm using windows xp home edition 32 bit, have updated my drivers, and have tried to use several different versions of the flash player 10( installing the other versions first), as well as trying to use it in internet explorer 8, firefox 5, and google chrome. The computer does not crash unless the flash player is in use. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail. This problem did not happen UNTIL I was forced to udate the flash player to the latest version in order to watch Hulu and you tube due to their requirements. PLEASE HELP!

  • Ipod Nano frozen, and appears to be crashing my computer when I plug it in

    After owning my ipod nano for a whopping two hours, and playing a total of two songs on it, the nano froze. I attempted to select music based on album, hit play, and it froze on that position. It doesnt dim or power down after awhile or anything.
    I hooked it up to my machine and tried to start itunes, and it would not start. Later, I started itunes by itself after rebooting the machine. Plugging it in after the fact causes no change on the screen (still frozen) and itunes never acknolwedges that an ipod has been plugged in.
    I read the instructions, and know that supposedly, according to the instructions, holding down the mouse wheel for five to ten seconds, or flicking the hold switch will reset the ipod.
    Unfortunately it doesnt.
    I'm really, really regretting this purchase. Anybody know what I should do?

    To clarify it only crashed my computer once, but did seem to actually prevent itunes from starting.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
    Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
    After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
    The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
    Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

  • ITunes is crashing my computer

    Hi, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my problem. My laptop crashes everytime I open iTunes. Once iTunes load, my computer starts to lag pretty bad until it totally crashes. The only thing I could do is to hold my laptop's power button until it completely shuts down. I'm using a Vaio VPCEA12EG, running on Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit.
    iTunes used to work just fine on my laptop. I just started to notice this problem when I played an mp3 song one day, prompting it to load on iTunes, thus crashing my computer. Once it crashed, I thought that maybe it was just an isolated case since it was just the first time it happened. Then, a few days later, I plugged in my sister's iPod shuffle. It then crashed my computer again for loading iTunes. My sister was resquesting for me to load songs on her iPod so I was forced to keep trying, and much to my surprise, iTunes kept on crashing my computer.
    I tried uninstalling iTunes (trying uninstall-install method), but it also ends up crashing my laptop. It just gets stuck on "Configuring iTunes. 31 seconds remaining." So basically, I CAN'T uninstall iTunes from my system. I'm planning to get an iPhone 4 soon and I can't afford not to be able to use iTunes on my own laptop.
    Here's a summarized background of my problem:
    1. iTunes used to work on my laptop.
    2. One day, it just stopped working. iTunes crashes my computer everytime I try to use it:
    *When I double-click/open the program.
    *When I sync an Apple product.
    *When I open a music file with iTunes.
    3. The only thing I could do after iTunes crashes my computer is to hold the power button until my computer completely shuts off.
    4. I tried uninstalling it, but it ALSO crashes my computer. Bottomline, I couldn't remove iTunes from my computer.
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem? I hope someone can help me with this problem. I'm at my wits end as I can't even uninstall iTunes from my system. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, mtglenwright. I was able to solve this problem. What I did was I uninstalled iTunes, then installed it again. But the catch is that it always crash the computer, right? What worked for me is that I LEFT THE COMPUTER ALONE UNTIL IT FINISHED THE UNINSTALLING.
    Follow the order in this guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    The important thing is that you should leave your computer alone until it finishes each process. For example, when you click uninstall, just leave your computer alone until it finishes! As in DO NOT USE YOUR COMPUTER FOR ANYTHING. Do not use it to surf the net, do not use it to play solitaire, do not even move your mouse! It will take a LONG time. I actually left my computer overnight. When I woke up, I saw that it was able to uninstall iTunes! If you use your computer while you are uninstalling iTunes, your computer will most likely crash. I suggest that you do this at night when you absolutely don't need to use your computer for anything.
    Anyway, this is what worked for me. I hope it will also work on your computer. Good luck!

  • I Tunes crashes my computer each time I open it

    I Tunes crashes my computer due to operation called Determining Gapless Playback. It gets to the same place and then stops everything so I can't use my computer unless I shutdown the computer by holding down the on/off button.
    Has anyone else experienced anything like this and are able to help me?????
    Thanks

    Hi cannot open adobe file,
    If I understand correctly, you can open the file one on computer (running Windows 8), but not on another? If so, what operating system (and version of Reader) are you using on that other computer?
    Do you get an error when you try to open PDF files in Reader, or does Reader crash? Does the problem occur with just one PDF file, or with any that you try to open?
    For starters, you may just want to reinstall Reader on the computer where you're having trouble.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Epson printer software update 2.11 crashing my computer!

    Hi there
    Thanks in advance for the help. I have been trying for a few days to download and install the latest software update called "epson printer software update 2.11"
    It will not finish installing and ends up crashing my computer. I have OS 10.7.4.
    Additionally my Epson Stylus NX420 will not print from my computer. I get an unknown error message. The printer does work however. I can make copies and scan. The Network diagnostics from the printer states that there are no issues.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem and after untold hours working with Apple & Epson we got to the problem with the Apple software update 2.14.  I was told I had to decide if I wanted my 9900 to work or my office printer (Workforce 610) to work. I was incredulous that I would be forced to make this choice but of course chose to get my 9900 back up and running.  This  fix was given to me 3 weeks ago tomorrow and we still no resolution from Apple / Epson?  Are you kidding me? I am considering throwing my Epson 610 in the trash and buying another brand of office printer so I will have no conflict with my 9900. Seems like a pretty stupid solution I must admit.
    I called Epson back again on Friday and got a horrible run-around. The guy from the Pro Graphics group (techs for the professional series printers) insisited I needed to talk to the consumer printers group. Once I got to them it was clear they had no clue about this issue. I left the phone totally frustrated and angry.  I ended up emailing a very capable guy from the Pro Graphics group I had worked with 3 weeks ago and he was nice enough to reply. The answer however was there is still no fix to the Apple update.  At t his point I am not sure how to know if the update has been fixed. The message I get from Epson is just keep checking back. The problem is that it seems few at Epson are aware of the problem so you have to go through a long explanation only to hope  you find someone that is aware.
    Nothing like running a printing company and telling your customers you cannot print their invoice because your printer doesn't work!  Thanks Apple for the quick fix on this!

  • Itunes video crashes my computer

    I recently purchased a video iPod (my photo iPod broke) and updated my iTunes software. Now, every time I try to open the video page in iTunes, it crashes my computer. Either the computer freezes and I have to reboot or it goes blue screen and reboots itself. Per Apple customer service request, I have uninstalled iTunes, turned off my anti-virus software, reinstalled, but had the same problem. I've even gone through the whole msconfig window getting rid of unused startup processes. Nothing seems to work.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    thank you falcon8r!
    a good thing we've got the engineers on the case, since:
    0x000000F4
    i can't recall seeing that error code showing up here before. so we don't have a simple list of things to check through (based on my experience here). MS doesn't have any documentation on specific XP-related causes of the 0x000000F4, but we know from this MS document that you've got a problem related to a system process:
    Bug Check 0xF4: CRITICALOBJECTTERMINATION
    ... so if you're still keen on continuing our investigations, we might be able to get some more info about which process is in pain by checking the event logs. (this might help with giving us a shorter list of possibilities.)
    right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Event Viewer". let's look through the Application and System logs for error/warning events that are regularly coinciding with the 0x000000F4s.
    if you find candidate types of event, click on an example of each to bring up a small window. note down the Source, Event ID and Description of the process, and post back with your findings.

  • Light room five keeps crashing my computer uninstalled it downloaded a fresh copy it works fine how do I get my pictures out of the old copy to the new one?

    Light room five keeps crashing my computer, uninstalled it downloaded a fresh copy it works fine. How do I get my pictures out of the old copy to the new one?

    Apparently you have two catalogs now, one from each installation. If you did importing, tagging and editing during the first installation, that will all be in the first catalog. Find the first catalog - it is a file with the suffix .lrcat and the default place for LR to put it is usually your Pictures folder - and (with LR closed) double-click on it. LR will launch with catalog #1 active.

  • Adobe products now crash my computer.

    At first, all the CC downloads worked fine. Then about a week ago, I started crashing if I used Acrobat (mainly by trying to look at PDFs.) Now if I open any Adobe program, like Dreamweaver or Photoshop, it will crash my computer as well. I've gone back to an earlier system restore, I tried an earlier Acrobat version, I've wiped all Adobe installs and CC cleaned it, I've reinstalled, same problem. (Crashing in this case means the blue screen of death.) This is a major problem so I'm hoping someone here has a solution.
    My computer is VERY hefty and can handle the workload. I run Windows 7.
