PC freeze during video capture

[Guest]

When I use Windows Movie Maker to capture from my DV camcorder, the CPU is at
100 % and the fan is always working. Then, after approximately 5 minutes of
capture, my PC freeze and I have to reboot it. Then I see that a 39 MB video
file (.wmv) and a 468 MB .tmp file have been created.
I have a notebook 2.4 GHz with 512 MB of RAM. I have ordered a notebook
cooler but it will come in about 2 weeks.
I tried to capture my video with the Samsung software coming with my
camcorder, it worked, the CPU was low during the capture but the video
captured was of poor quality.
Can you help ?

Try defragging your hard drive and enhancing the air circulation... even by
blowing air on it with a fan...
