Why does my computer shut down or reboot during editing or render in Catalyst applications?

This is likely a symptom of a system related issue more than one related to our software. Editing and rendering audio and video can be an intensive task, pushing your system CPU, RAM, and hard-discs to their limits. If you notice that your computer shuts down or reboots during this task, you should contact the computer manufacturer's support team or a local computer hardware technician.
