Windows is crasing when ripping

[Bjarne Jensen]

When I am ripping a CD to OggVorbis Windows is crasing and the computer is starting again. Usely 5 to 8 numbers are ripped successfully. Then I start ripping again. Many times it crash another time. I have closed all other programs when I am ripping.

Try ripping to another format, such as wave.

Try ripping to another format, such as wave.

I have tryed to rip the same CD to wave and mp3. Ripping to wave was succesfull, but the process lasted no more than 5 minutes. The problem appears after about 20 minutes. The ripping to mp3 didn't succeed. As when ripping to OggVorbis the computer crashed after about 20 minutes.

After this I have installed the new release (number 10) and tryed to rip the same CD with OggVorbis, but the result is the same.

I am ripping to 160 Kbps and with variable bitrate and 44100 khz freguency, as recommended.

It seems to me that the computer is disturbed after 20 minutes, but I have no ideer what causes the disturbens.

I would guess that your CPU is overheating, try installing 'Sandra' ( from sci soft?) which will display the CPU temperature.
