DVD Drive crahing out my pc!

[Scoobie Dave]

Hi,

I have just installed a fresh copy on Windows onto my rig. When windows has booted, everything is fine until you put any CD/DVD into the drive. I get the little cd icon curser come up for second or two but nothing ever mounts then my pc reboots!
I would have thought that it might be a hardware problem (i.e the drive) but how can it load a fresh copy of windows onto my hd, but crash my pc within windows?

any ideas

Right im getting a little closer to the problem. . . if I uninstall the motherboard drivers my dvd works as it should, but I have tried to install various versions of my motherboard drivers and im still getting the same problem. Im not sure how to cure this one. . .

can anyone help me?

In the run dialog type eventvwr and have a look in the logs for System and Application. At the time the PC shutsdown their should be a corresponding error or warning entry in one of the logs. Double-clicking will send windows off to find a solution if one exists - assuming that the info in the log is completely unhelpful lol

You could also paste it in here and see if anyone recognises the error

I'm getting this problem with my new system?!

I'm now thinking it may be something to do with Windows 64bit

or possibly even just because i havent activated windows yet.
