i have a question about encoding video in general, using any program...while encoding on my computer i always get a hard freeze...using any program. anybody know why this might happen? coudl it be that my power supply is to small, i think it's 300 watts. i don't think this is it, but its all i can think of
I would think if your power supply is insufficient, which the chance
is high, because your Athlon XP 2100+ processor chip chokes, PJ64 would crash, start getting BSODs often, Windows failing to install with file errors and file corrupted errors.
If the virtual memory is too small:
Windows 2000 and Windows XP:
Windows would display the error message that the virtual memory is too small and will increase the page file size.
During the above process, a application may crash.
Windows 95 and Windows 98:
Windows will repeat displaying the error message when you attempt to open anything:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not enough free memory to start X. Please close some
applications and try again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and you won't be even able to:
Open *ANY* application
Any attempt to enter Control Panel, shutting down PC with the Shut Down menu or going to the
Shut Down menu to tell Windows to reboot the PC, Windows usually will repeat displaying the error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not enough free memory to start X. Please close some
applications and try again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thus you are forced to hard reboot the PC and go to safe mode to fix the virtual memory settings.
