T61 Shuts down while converting video files

I've got a T61, 6459-CTO. specs in my sig.
I'm trying to convert .mkv files to .avi, so I can stream them to an xbox 360. However, sometime during the conversion, my computer will just shut down. Just straight to black, it doesn't run the shutdown sequence or anything.
During the conversion, my CPU is running at 100%. I've tried two different programs (both coincidentally have the same GUI, so they may be related) and the same thing happens. I'm figuring its an overheating issue. I wanted to get a couple opinions first before I open it up and try and clean it. I'm thinking some compressed air to the fan might help.
Any other opinions? Help is appreciated.
T61 15.4" T9300 (2.5GHz 6MB L2) Windows 7 Professional x64 4GB Memory, NVidia Quadro NVS 140M

go **bleep** to work, had to get a newer version.
Anyway, currently, as I type, the CPU temp is 68C, gpu is 68. Within about 20 seconds of starting the intel burn test, the cpu got up to 101, gpu to 68. I turned it off once it topped 100, figured I knew its a heating problem.
However, what could be the issue? Do you think its a dirty fan or clogged vents?

PC turns itself off while converting video files!

HP TouchSmart 610-1020a
i5 6GB RAM 64Bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
Lately having issues while trying to convert video files with Nero 11 or/and Xilisoft Video Converter 6 (Both full versions and registered software). Everytime I start with converting video files, couple of minutes later the computer crashes; it switches OFF by itself and I can't do nothing about it. I have changed the Power Safe mode (computer NEVER goes to sleep or Hibernate) still having the same problem.
Any help is more than welcome!

...I do not have STEAM or any games on my TouchSMart 610 however the only software I use on both PCs' is the NORTON INTERNET SECURITY. I seriously start thinking Norton is the reason for all issues!?
Thanks Mate,
1. Hot, definitely - the fan can not blow all hot air out,
2. NIS will only alerts for performance, not shutting the machine down

Iweb Shuts Down While Updating Domain File

I have a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 Powerbook.
I recently upgraded to ILife 08.
When iWeb tries to update the Domain File, it crashes and shuts down . . .
Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, how does one go about fixing this problem?

1. Quit iWeb
2. Delete the following file:
Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
3. Relaunch iWeb
If that doesn’t work delete the file again and restart your Mac.
1. Go to Applications/Utilities
2. Open Disk Utility
3. Click Macintosh HD
4. Click on Verify Disk Permissions
5. Click Repair Disk Permissions.

COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN WHILE CONVERTING

can anyone tell me what going on with my computer? I start converting songs on itunes and is suddenly shuts down..

I don't see that you have had a response to this. I had the same problem in a PC that I built for my sons and it was caused by memory that had gone bad. You can check this by searching and downloading memtest 86+ it is a simply program that tests memory. Follow the instructions from the memtest site on how to create a boot disk or flash drive. If it is memory it is a fairly simple fix.

Macbook shuts down while playing video

My Macbook randomly turns off while videos are being played regardless if it is a stream or being played from itunes. The computer only does this while running on battery when connected to the power cord it keeps running. When I am just running on battery but not playing video the computer will not turn off and runs as normal. I am at a complete loss for what could be wrong with the computer. I have checked the power saving options and every thing looks correct. PLease Help

Was this every resolved? I'm having the exact same problem. Notice it especially when I play a fullscreen games (like StarCraft) or video (streaming or iTunes). Just browsing the web doesn't seem to do it, or checking email, etc. Checked my battery cycles and I'm just below 200 (apples says around 300 you'll start to see a decline). Under battery condition it does say "Check Battery", but I kinda feel like this is when the "Check Engine" light goes on in a car - turns on after a certain internal counter goes off but has nothing to do with the actual condition.
Suggestions?
thanks

MacBook randomly shuts down while watching streaming video

I've been having a problem lately with my MacBook randomly shutting down. I initially thought it was due to overheating which was logical considering I was using my MacBook in bed and the computer was very hot when it would shut off, but I've recently started using a TV-Table top for it to sit on when I'm using it in bed. My MacBook continues to shut down and the computer isn't nearly as hot as it was prior to using the TV-Table top, it is just warm. It's definitely not a battery issue because this happens when I'm using the power source as well. *I think I've noticed that this only happens when I'm in Firefox watching online streaming video on sites such as YouTube.* I never use Safari so I'm not sure if the problem would occur in Safari or not. I tried installing the MacBook SMC Firmware Update v1.1 but it said my computer didn't need it.

I have the same problem, every once in a not-so-blue moon my macbook pro shuts down while streaming video. It only happens when streaming video. Just watched some of the new south park episode, and it shut down on me! It really ticks me off!!!!!

MAC AIR SHUTS DOWN WHILE STREAMING

My MacBook Air shuts down while streaming video. I am using safari and it works for a while but then shuts down and will not restart for quite some time. When it restarts I have to immediately close the video window or it will shut down again. I have the latest version of flashplayer.

This sounds like an overheating issue. Flash requires a surprisingly high level of resources. Do you hear your fans running at all while you are playing the videos?
Download the free iStat Pro widget directly from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
It will show you both your fan speeds and temperature. Start playing a video and let it play for a short while (sometime before it typically shuts off... but long enough to let things warm up). Then check the temp and fan speed. Do this while the video is still playing as things can cool off pretty fast after you stop playing the video. Post the numbers back here.

You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two. Ask Apple if you don't know how.

Premiere Elements 11 shut down while starting; without error message

hello everybody,

Since a week it always shut down while starting it.
No error message!
I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your answers!

Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
Files Folder.
Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.

Premiere Elements

and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As

Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.

Satellite A665-S6080 Shuts Down During Flash Videos

I have a Satellite A665-S6080 laptop with Windows 7 64x which I've had for 3 years now. For a year now it will shut down when I am using a video converter program ie: Leavino Video Converter, Win AVI All In One. I would take a video I have on my computer and try to convert it to another format and about 10 minutes in the converting stage, my laptop will just shut down. It doesn't matter what converting software I use, It will shut down. If the video is small (under 500 MB) I might not shut down. I've tried to convert 1.5 GB video and my laptop would shut down. If I play flash videos online it might shut down as well. Also when I play Candy Crush online it has shut down as well.
I've heard people mention that the problem could be a bad power switch, however, my problem seems to be video related. Has anyone had this problem like mine? Any suggestions on fixing the problem? Thanks.
If any other info is needed please let me know.

See this post for flash player issue : http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Video-Display/Youtube-question-Try-to-run-full-screen-and-just-get-a-bl...
Video converting is very hardware intensive and your laptop can get to hot and shut down.
Do you use a cooling pad and does your vents and fan need cleaned? I ask that because you stated that it has only shut down for the last year and mainly when converting video files.(flash issue already noted above)

'Error occured while converting the file--unknown error occured 0x77686174

I just got my first iPod but I'm a little frustrated. I put in a cd, iTunes opens and asks me if I want to import the songs, I reply yes. When it tries the very first song of the cd, it immediately comes up with 'Error occured while converting the file "name of song". An unknown error occured (0x77686174).' It doesn't matter if this is a completely new cd or an older one.
I ran CD diagnostics on iTunes and my results are below. I have posted this several times on many different boards and haven't found any solutions or been given any solutions from anyone. I have an iPod that I can't use because I can't download any songs...does anyone have any idea what to do?
I've looked at Dell to update drivers for my cd drive but it says that I have the newest drivers...the computer isn't even a year old yet. What do I do?? I've wiped the cd like several posts say to do, I've clicked the fix error option on cd off and on like several posts have said to do, I've changed the conversion of 128 to 64 like several posts have said to do...help please, anyone?

Error occurred while converting the file "". You do not have the privilege

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it's my first mac ever. I have imported all my songs into itunes from an external hard drive where i would keep all my music and video's. I went ahead and added it to my mac and everything plays and works fine but whenever i try to import a cd i get this message Error occurred while converting the file "(Song Title)". You do not have the privilege to make changes." I tried changing the sharing and permission settings on the drive but it won't let me so i have no idea on what to do next. Any help is appreciated!

Error while converting video in iTunes

So, I'm trying to convert a movie that was not bought on iTunes into an iPhone/iPod version (File > Create New Version > iPhone/iPod) and I get an error similar to this: Error occurred while converting the file "**Insert File Name Here**" An unknown error occurred (-11800)
Does anyone know how to fix this? The file is H264 with a file extension of .MP4. Help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you are doing or what your workflow is, 2:3 is not an aspect ratio I recognise, but I think if you open your QT movie in QT and set the scaled size (window/movie properties/Video track/visual settings) to a 16:9 ratio before exporting using the movie to tv pre-set, you may achieve what you want.

Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

Hi All,
Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
2. Updating all the video drivers.
3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vincent

A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?

IPhoto shuts down while uploading from my camera

I have loaded pics from that camera before. Now, shuts down while uploading. So, I closed Iphoto and tried again. Same. Checked for updates. I opened Iphoto without the camera attached and it wants to upload the same pics. I try, and it quits.
On a side note, Last night I could not print. It did not see the printer. Checked the printer with a PC. Works like a champ.
Thanks,
Bud

Bud,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Look just inside your Home/ Pictures/ iPhoto Library folder for a folder named "Importing." If you see it, drag it out to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if that clears up the attempt to import. Use the Finder to look inside the Importing folder - if it has files you need in your library you can go ahead and import them.
Warning: Do not make any other changes to the items inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as damage to your library can result. If you don't see an "Importing" folder, then leave everything alone and report back.
Regards.
