Description
Xubuntu 12.04 LTS ... all up to date and otherwise very stable system.
Arista seems to work fine at first, but will reboot computer randomly. It may happen in the first minute of conversion or it may happen with two minutes left. It is not a heat issue here. It seems to happen converting MP4s to Xvid, but also happens on MKV to Xvid.
I love the ease of use but it is only successful maybe 30% of the time. Very frustrating.
Handbrake can covert 40 files (several days of constant converting) in a row without issue so I know it is not a heat issue. I have even set up direct cooling to see to that issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the random reboot during MP4-to-Xvid and MKV-to-Xvid conversions on the reported Xubuntu 12.04 LTS setup. Investigate the conversion entry point and available failure output; done means identifying a reproducible cause or confirming that repeated conversions no longer reboot the computer.
