SEVERE: Win XP Crashes (w/ blue screen) and Reboots in the middle of ripping to *.mp3

[jimmy_laine_1st]

Hi,

I am trying to put part of my personal collection of music onto
my computer so I can listen while I work. First, my Win XP PC came
with MusicMatch Jukebox. I used it to rip about 10 CD's from
my collection, but, during one CD, the ripping process slowed
down, then a blue screen with a bunch of "exception" and "fatal"
nonsense came up and the system rebooted. I then tried out
dBPowerAmp. I ripped to *.mp3 again (I tried different file
sizes 128, 160, 192, etc.) and it worked for about 15 or 20
CD's at very fast speed (it took a maximum of 7 minutes
to rip a CD). Then, when I put in another CD, THE SAME ERROR
happened with dBPowerAmp. Slowing down (the time remaining
went from 5 minutes to 45 minutes Crash, blue screen, reboot).
One or two tracks were ripped. (The same error happened for
more than one CD and at random.)

All of the CD's I ripped were commercial factory CD's -- there
were no CD-R's or anything. Please help!

Possibly hardware problem / overheating.

Try converting 100 mp3 files to mp3 (different folder), if it blue screens then probabbly overheating cpu.
