[Bug 371849] [NEW] system crashes when converting audio files

2009-05-04 Thread Shiwa
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: soundkonverter I decided to convert my whole audio library to ogg and to apply replaygain in the process, so I used soundkonverter (+ associated programs : mp3gain, oggenc...). It works, except that when I launch the conversion of too many files, it make

Using ext4 instead of ntfs didn't change anything. I installed lm_sensors and it's true that the CPU heats a lot, but stays within the Intel recommended limit... I will make other tests to check the temperature theory. -- system crashes when converting audio files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs

I just made the test using cpuburn. The system stayed stable during 5 min at nearly 70°C (didn't want to test any longer...) while soundkonverter crashed at 65°C. So if it's a temperature matter, it doesn't seem related to CPU (or to any other temperature I can monitor, they don't change while c

Ok I think I found the solution, it was temperature after all. I went into the BIOS (didn't find any other way to control fanspeed) and put my CPU fan in optimal mode (instead of quiet, which is enough in normal cases). Now the CPU stays below 60°C and I just converted hundreds of files without a
