PC crashes when I try to burn DVD video

[samsmoot]

HI there.

My PC crashes when I try to burn DVD video.

Had no problem until recently, and I can burn CD audio.

Have tried system restore and virus checks.

Tried using Nero and Foxit - both result in my PC crashing during the encoding process: a grey screen appears, with (varied) vertical black stripes and I have to turn off my computer.

Would really appreciate some advice please - here's the specs:


Windows XP
AVG Free
Zone Alarm
AdAWare
Spybot
Internet via open network using Repeatit marine hotspot booster

Winfast Model K8M890-8237
Physical Memory 447 MB Total, 77 MB Free
CPU Name AMD Sempron 3000+
Video Processor VIA/S3G DeltaChrome IGP


Thanks

Try updating the firmware on your drive, and NEVER use nero... seriously
