compact disc writer cause notebook to crash! Why?

Over the final few days, my notebook PC (IBM X Note, 29 gb hard drive, 512 mb push, CPU 2 ghz, Windows XP with service pack 2), have crashed four times while trying to burn mp3s to CDR. It doesn't seem to event which programme I use (I have tried Windows Media Player and Nero beside the same result). It suddenly comes up next to a blue screen beside white writing on it for a split second, then restarts Windows. No problems noted beside anything else. Any ideas...please?


Answer:

First launch eventvwr.exe, the Event Viewer. Look at the System and Application groups for Red "X"'s. This may make a contribution you an idea. The computer is rebooting any because a critical error has occured or you enjoy a hardware issue.



You can also try using Device Manager and remove the drive. Reboot the computer and let Windows redetect it. This is individual a first step. If it does not resolve your problem you'll have to verbs on this a little more.
Any downloads or info retrieved from the web over the last few days have been on a leading go so, to in close proximity stop. so maybe thats why your download took on a glitch. x
I reckon you need more RAM to be capable of burn the CD, I hold 1gb an I am considering going up to 2gb
Best bet would be trying to reinstall the CD drive's driver files. I have a similar problem and that helped me.



Make sure any compact disc burning software or drivers that came beside the CD are disabled and after reinstall them.
Your notebook may be using too many resources.

Disable or exit from adjectives resident programs, like the little icon on your start menu.

You can also defrag your hard drive to clear things run faster - that helps beside everything you do on the computer.
