A6M/Z92M Video capture / shutdown

Hi there,

I just traded my A6km with 2 hours battery life for a Z92M, which I can get around the 5 hours out of.

I've just run into a problem though.

I've installed Windows XP Pro onto my 7200rpm drive, and pulled out the 5400 which had xp home on it. But for some reason I cant capture video from my sony handycam via firewire.

It sort of works, but the notebook just turns itself off randomly while capturing. sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after 20. But never allows me to capture for longer than 20 munites at a time. I've tried using both windows movie maker and PowerDirector and both do the same thing.

I've even installed the windows SP1 drivers to try fix the error.

Is there a fix to this? I called Asus support and they had never heard of the problem. I'm pretty sure my PC is fast enough, its a 1.6Ghz Turion X2 TL50, 1GB DDR2, 7200rpm 80GB HDD.


**EDIT**

Ok I figured out what is going on. When ever I run something that is CPU intensive now. The notebook restarts/crashes. I tried running Super PI to try stress the CPU and it crashed. I installed all new nforce and nvidia graphics drivers, but no difference.

Is there anything to can so it try fix it? or will i need to swap it?




Any ideas?

 

Well just incase anyone was actually interested. I swapped the notebook over today and the new one works great!

There was some issue with running two sticks of ram. Either stick would run perfectally fine by itself but no ways was it going to work together

All good, its asus repair center's problem now
