That's a kernel panic. I saw it discussed here a few weeks ago - some where your kernel panicked and decided to oscillate the keyboard blinkenlights. ISTR the code is somewhere in panic.c. Odd that it would happen during mp3/wav conversion. That's somewhat stressful, but IMHO your motherboard/CPU/memory combination may leave something to be desired. What happens for instance when you run cpuburn? Have you run memtest? > Chris
