Can't capture from video device

I have my VCR hooked up to my computer via my TV tuner card with composite
inputs. When I click on Capture from video device in Movie Maker, at first it
worked for 20-30 minutes, so I could record that much. After about that
amount of time, my computer would crash and have a Windows blue screen error
stating that "Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer".
Now it does this abter about 5-10 minutes. If Movie Maker is just running by
itself and not capturing any video, it works fine; it's only while the
capture from video device thing is running. My card's drivers are up to date,
as is Movie Maker. Any suggestions?
 
that is known as the "blue screen of death" yes its quite famous... if u get
it, it usually means ur computer is screwed. its usuallly from viruses, when
i get it, and thers no way to fix it. i just get my computer reformatted at a
store for like 70 bucks good luck

Absolute nonsense! If it was a virus the PC would display
a whole heap of problems, not just in WMM.
And of course a good uptodate anti-virus would fix it!
The probable cause is the system is under stress.
Close any other running applications.
Specifically those detailed in system tray
Hold down keys: Ctrl+Alt +Del
This will produce Task Manager.
"End Task" on hidden running applications
On lower row of Task Manager it will detail
CPU usuage in %
Don't pay any attention to "chun" and his dubious advice!
