I have been using Foobar to convert my FLAC to MP3 and ConvertX to DVD to convert my AVI to DVD.
My problems started about 2 months ago when I was defraging my HDDs while simultaneously converting files and scanning for viruses while I slept.
I woke up to find my PC (Windows Vista Ultimate) at it's first BSOD.
I immediately scheduled a chkdisk for both my 320G Seagate Barracuda HDDs.
Now whenever I try to do intense converting of files such as AVIs or FLAC I get BSOD 10 minutes into the processes. I never had this issue before.
I'm actually sitting on a fresh (10 minutes ago) install of Windows Vista x64 because I thought it might have been an OS issue, but I just tried to convert FLAC again and just got another BSOD.
Stop Code: 0x0000007f
I need help trying to figure out what is causing this.
Maybe it's not the HDDs.
Maybe it's my CPU or something.
Are there tests I can run to figure this out?
