Bsod With Emcs10!

[cascade]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum as im not very computer literate and havent used these types of things before, but this is my last resort.

I am creating a video in video wave and at random times the program shuts down and i get the bsod. It doesnt seem to be from any related actions or editing tools.

 

If someone could tell me how to fix this i would greatly appreciate it. sorry if this has been covered some where else. i am using a HP pavilion dv5000 with windows xp.

 

Cheers.

Nothing in the program that would cause that…

 

Try updating your Video Card drivers but the best bet is to consider formatting your HD and starting from a clean slate.

Have you switched to software rendering? Top menu, tools, options, put a dot near software.

 

Also update Microsoft's DirectX.

 

What CPU do you have in that HP laptop?

It sounds more like a heat issue. What are your processor temp and motherboard temp?

Hey guys thanks for all your help. Switching the software rendering and updating directx seems to have fixed the problem.
