  • All movie editing software shuts down my laptop??

    I need help as no matter what programme I use it shuts the laptop down. Powerdirector, Windows Live Movie Maker & Windows Movie Maker all shut it down. The last video I edited was my slabby resto vid which took several days because of the issue. It's not overheating, there's TONS of memory but it just doesn't work. Any idea?? & please explain them in simpleton terms as I really don't know jack about computers.

    Does sound like heat! Why so sure its not overheating? There are a number of individual components that can reach a temperature that will cause a shutdown, the whole laptop doesn't necessarily have to feel hot.

    If its not this i would guess the gfx card has a problem.

      It's not heat because I'd only just turned it on & it was stone cold from start to switch off. WMP suddenly worked this morning before work so I've saved an edited video. I've read numerous reports of the files giving the same issues with top spec pc's

        has your computer got all the necessary "support" software/drivers installed to run the software? I had a similar issue a while back and it turned out i needed to download and install some microsoft .net framework or something - that fixed the problem. Check the operating requirements.

        Normally I would also check the fan is running inside the laptop as they have a habit of not working lol
