XOG made me revisit the POWER MANGEMENT menu of my Inspiron 8000 - BIG thank you. After your initial information I thought I'd retry this - been there before!
In the Power Mangement menu in Settings, I now select "ALWAYS ON". This appears to cured it! - Simple eh . . .
Grob, please give it a go. . . . along with my normal fixes of having the FanGui software keeping the fans on full blast while PTTing.
Just done 3 x 53:53mins projects without any BLUE FLASHES.
I think the PM menu in anything other than ALWAYS ON allows the pc to go see what's happening with the HD, the screen and other power hungry hardware - this in turn makes a periodic "callout" to those bits 'n pieces. I think I'm onto something here, as the BLUE FLASHES happened at "regular" intervals BUT not in the same place on a file - yeah?
Thanks for all your patience with me.
Ohh . . .SonicEPM, you asked for my IRQS? Have come up with any conclusion? If you find this thread of any value please use it for others too.
Best regards
Grazie
ps: Am I waiting for the other shoe top drop? - You betcha! But till then AND I'm on the cusp of upgrading to a Dual HT 3.Xghtz P4 - 1gb ram - 3 x 120gb hds, PTT and BLUE FLASHES will be part of my experience of NLE work.
