For Windows 95 release 2.5 (OSR2.5) IE 5.5.

Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve. If I play short videos, which are on CD or 500GB external disk, under 10 minutes, there is no problem.

If I play videos that are 20 minutes or longer, which are on a CD, nothing happens, no problem, the video plays just fine.

But if I play the same long video, 20 minutes or more, which is on the 500GB USB external disk, Windows 95 crashes and blue screen appears.

I don't understand, if I play the file from the main disk, no problem.

If I play the same file on CD, no problem

If I try to play the video from USB disk the system crashes...

How come?

Chances are your 500gig disk is overheating. To test, try to get a 500gig different manufacturer and see if it duplicates the problem.

You can try to test by directing a high-velocity fan blowing on the drive and see if the crashes either stop, or the video plays longer before it crashes. Not a dependable test, it depends on how the drive is setup up in the container. I had the overheating problem happen once on an external drive I had.
