Iriverter causes computer to shut off?

[IWantFourGigClix]

Hey, I finally got to playing with my Clix, and wanted to play my first video on it. I downloaded iRiverter, and when I tried to convert a file (.avi) my computer shut off. I did this a couple more time, and with different videos (all .avi). It only shuts off when I'm using iRiverting and am trying to convert a file. I've tried the alternative (Badak) and the problem still persists.


I'm using a Compaq Presario R3360us. It gets the job done, but I can't watch a video and multitask at the same time(the computer freezes when I do). This may have to do with the actual problem. I am using the latest version, and would like to get this resolved. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Sorry for the double post, but I want to make sure people who have already read come back. If this against the rules, I'll change it.

I think the problem is that the task is causing my computer to heat up rapidly and think WinXP is connected to it. I have another computer that is connected to this one by a router for internet. And has no problem converting video in that one, but I can only move my videos to the other computer by cd's (it's time consuming).

Is there anyway to transfer files through the router?

I am also knowledgable on linux, and i need to know if I can dual boot and use linux to convert files.

Any help is appreciated.

This isn't a case of double post, as long as they are not posted 5 minutes (or so) apart of each other. If you use XP, setup a local network (in network connection) and share the folder with those files, than drag them from the other PC in its 'my network places'.
