[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1720004, member: 46727"] My guess is that he could have a bad or intermittent graphics card. Video editing puts a lot of pressure on the graphics and if the card is old and possibly failing, it will cause the reboot. Or, because of the video editing the machine overheats and that causes a restart. Checking the memory eliminated that as a possible cause. If it's an older machine like you say those are the two likely suspects. Which machine does he have? Can you be more descriptive? Click on the Apple in the upper left corner and select "About this Mac" and post it here. And, welcome to our forums. [/QUOTE]
