Usually it's a just big enough power supply, a bad stick of RAM, cooling or "other".
The full version will also lock up.
Try this. Leave the cover off the machine.

i am havin problems with this program locking up on me, i have two 160gig hard drives, 1 gig of RAM, a 3.1ghz chip and it still freezes up on me, i've looked on their website and found nothin, this is a basic trial version that came with ADS Instant DVD 2.0. does it freeze up becomes my files are between 2-4gigs and it is only a trial version? should i buy the full version or should i get a different brand like pinnacle? will a full version run alot smoother?
