System reboots

I have a Radeon 9600 card with 128MB.

When I run really long processes in TMPGenc or DVDLab my system reboots
and Windows XP reports the problem as the video driver.

I downloaded and installed the latest driver from the ATI site and the
problem is still occurring.

Apparently the problem is that a thread goes into an infinite loop
waiting for vertical refresh (according to the MS KB article).

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Might be the vid card is not getting enough power and you need to try
a more beefier PSU. That's just a maybe.

Never used one, but I looked at a few reviews and it seems fine, what you
could do is try is the Omega drivers for the ati card
http://www.omegadrivers.net/ also update your motherboard drivers, even if
you have done so or are up-to-date, do it again, turn off any antivirus when
re-encoding video, also if there are any un-used serial port and/or parallel
ports, this will free up some system resources, what make and model is the
motherboard, system ram?, does the pc lock up when playing gfx intensive
games?.

PC only locks up when there is intensive hard disk thrashing when doing
video encoding. I am using TMPGenc, TMPG DVD Author and DVD Lab.

It does not happen when I play GFX intensive games.
