[x264-devel] Bug Report/Help?

[Kevin P. Jacobson]

Sorry for lack of details...

Power Supply is 600W, it should be plenty.

CPU doesn't get over 50C at any time, and I have run it over 68C before with other applications.  CPU or memory is not overclocked.

The reboots are random.  It always happens on the first pass, it has been at the very beginning of the pass (as soon as I press Enter to execute), half way, 3/4, almost done.  A full first pass is supposed to run for around 6 minutes (~23min DVD clip @ ~100fps).

I ran two full passes of all 8 tests from memtest86 on the memory last night, no errors reported.

I have had perfectly fine uptime with this system.  For example, DVDShrink also makes use of all four cores and I can run three instances of it at a time, most of the time running more than 10 minutes.

I am very close to installing XP on this machine, I have had some headaches with Vista.  While I love linux and use it all day at work, it is just not an option for my desktop at home, sorry Guillaume.

Again, thank you for your time and suggestions.

-Kevin

Maybe insufficient power supply. You didn't tell how long it takes until
the computer reboots, it it right as soon as you start x264 or after it
runs for some time?
