Software Environment:

Problem Description: System stops and reboots during recording TV by Mencoder or
xawdecode to the file (*.avi) 
This happens repeatedly. I studied extract from TOP and I noticed that it has
never been used SWAP only MEM.

This is an example of extract of TOP while the system was running before crash.
