Hi guys, HOPE I can get some help...

Everytime I put media into one of my drives, no matter if it's blank or not, it causes my pc to shut down and reboot! I've then got to take the disc out of the drive or the pc will continue to shut down and reboot constantly.

I've replace the power supply and put in new IDE cables but that solved nothing.

I've scanned and replaced as MANY drivers as I can too, but hey..nada.

My pc is also virus free.

I'm using windows xp sp3.

I know there's not a lot of info but if you need more I'll post it up.

Many thanks...Your'll probably find it's some uncompatible software your installed which is ATTEMPTING to launch on DVD auto-run.
Ensure you don't have funky DVD INTERFACE software like 'DVDdecrypter' installed.

Hold down 'shift' key while inserting a DVD (this should prevent any auto-run) - see if this works or not.

If it's an autorun issue, you will just have to clean out that overwrite on autorun.

If it's still doing it, might be a driver conflict?Does the same THING happen in safe mode?Hi.
Sorry about the delay in getting back.
Right, tried holding down the shift key whilst inserting the dvd, unfortunately it didn't make a diffirence
I'm trying to start in safe mode but I'm having a little difficulty. I start the pc, hit the F8 key but on the screen that gives you the option to start in various modes by using the arrow keys to select an option, I hit the up arrow but nothing moves. I've then got to resrt my pc to start as normal! So, I can't answer that specific question.
