Hi,
here is my problem: my Compaq presario SR1620NX just crashes almost every time I'm copying a DVD. The process I'm doing is:
Copy the files from the DVD to the hard disk
Create an iso file with the DVD files ---> * here the PC crashes *
Crashes means the PC shuts down and the power led starts blinking. There's no way I can make it come back other than unplugging it from the wall and plugging it again to turn it on from zero.
This is the most demanding task I do with my PC, so I'm not sure if the fact that it crashes when I'm creating the iso is just coincidence.
The characteristics of my PC are as follows:
Motherboard: MSI
PRocessor: AMD sempron
memory: 512 mb
I though it was the hard disk but I have a brand new now, and is happening the same. Any clue?
thanks, M

Jump to PostDoes this only happen when you are backing up DVDs?
Try this, download Everest Home Edition and check and see what your voltages are while you're doing this.
Jump to PostYes, that would most definitely cause your problem. Open your case and make sure that the fan on your CPU is working, also look to see if there is an accumulation of dust on it as that also will cause the HSF to fail. Try running with the case open …
