DVD writer keeps making my computer crash

remmora · 12-19-2006, 09:38 PM

Every time I put a blank dvd or even a blank cd my computer crashes. I can play a cd or dvd that has been written on though. It started intermittently but now its all the time. Windows says it drivers clashing and I have tried disabling a couple but it hasn't helped so far.

hehehe... thats a bummer.
i would try updating the dvdrw's driver. i would also try reinstalling the burning software and disabling windows cd writing.
but more specs and details would be helpful

uninstall it from the device manager
reboot and check it when windows finishes reinstalling it
