System Information
Operating system and graphics card

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Hi,
I'm not a techy in anyway so I'm not sure where I can find the system info you're asking for but I'll go ahead and explain my problem anyway and if you need the system info of my comp you can tell me how to find it :)

Well at first blender worked fine, I was editing video's for a while but all of a sudden after about 40ish mins, it closes whenever I click the strip or try to play a pre-view.

Please help,
Dean

We need an example blend file, this description tells us nothing.

System Info can be retreived via Help menu -> System Info. Then go to the Text Editor in Blender, select the text block and save the text to disk. Attach it here then.

@Unliked_Dean, your video card has only 256 MB memory. However this page (http://www.blender.org/download/requirements) says it is enough, actually sometimes it's not. Blender uses a lot of video card memory. Maybe the actual problem is something else here, but the video memory size is also a possible problem. And you are using a video driver from 2008, so first try to upgrade to the latest video driver from the AMD website.

Yeah I expected it'll be something like that. I am getting a brand new computer soon, but I was hoping to practice with the software a bit before hand. Thank-you very much for the help :)
