Why does my computer restart when I try to burn movies???
 
I cant figure out why when I go to open any of my movie files on limewire my computer restarts itself and I eventually get a microsoft message stating i have recovered from a serious error? Anyone know what the Hell is going on all of a sudden,am i missing a patch that syops this from happening ??? Thanks

I am a little confused by your post. Are you trying to burn movies when this happens or are you trying to view them with LimeWire.

A little more information would help.

addendum to my issue with trying to burn Movies
 
As recent as yesterday,I have been having an issue with trying to burn or even trying to open my d/l movie files,avi or mpegs.Everytime I attempt to do this my computer restarts at once so therefore I am assuming that I may have incurred a worm of some sort that blocks me from doing this but im not sure.I use Nero burning 6.6 and Windows media player usually opens and plays all my movie files without a problem?I even went as far as to reinstalling Nero but I have a sneaking suspicion that what ever is going on is in Limewire and I use Limewire Pro too?????Is there a patch that i suddenly need,does anyone know?Gotta go and run a virus scan for sure............Thanks
By the way my d/l MP3s play or burn just fine,I run an Athlon 3000 64,1 gig dual channel PC 3200,using comcast broadband and I use Windows XP Pro and wont use SP2,i use SP1 and i also use microsoft spyware beta program with real time protection along with EZ Security Suite for Anti virus Protection and Firewall. Just ran a virus scan and got a clean report,now im really perplexed.........

Bad RAM is what comes to mind.
Check your RAM with memtest http://www.memtest86.com/

Raaf has a good point.

Since you mentioned you thought it might be a worm also. This link has some good worm detection programs you can d/l and run. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/

You may need to look around for the one you need.

Best of luck.
