I recently bought a new dvd writer and now every time i put a cd into my cd rom or dvd writer the computer restarts does anyone know what this could be?

The drivers are corrupt and they crash your kernel. Delete the drivers, go online and d/l the newest ones for the DVD player, and reinstall.

No it is not difficult to install a DVD Writer on your own.Its simple plugging the IDE cable (the broad gray coloured cable) and a power cable.. thats it! :)\nAbout your slot question, if i understood correctly, you mean to replace either CD writer or CD rom? If i had to do it, i would put it in my CD rom slot so that I have one for writing CDs, one for DVDs and ofcourse both can read CDs (thus makin plain CDROM redundant).

it sounds like the DVD burning software you had before has not yet been re-installed.\n\nInstall a DVD Burning program, then try it.

Problems reading and writing CDs are common.  In many cases, the problem cn be solved by checking the PC with free software, hardware modifications and cleaning the CD drive. I found the information at  http://fixit.in/cdrdrive.html useful.

Try restarting your computer. If the drive is removable, try taking it out and putting it in. Try going to device manager and making sure there are drivers installed for it. You can do this by going to start, right click on my computer, click properties, click hardware tab, then click the device manager button. Look for anything with an ! or ? icon. If there is one on the CD/DVD drive then it's a driver problem, easily fixed. I'd tell you where to get the driver if I knew the model of your computer.\n\nAnd if none of these work, it may be the drive fried or got disconnected from the board.

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

DVD maybe faulty. Try burning on another DVD.. if nothing still works.. probab;y ur drive is faulty.

this cd maybe protect of copy or need to clean \ntry to use programes like "VirtualDrive" that copy all the cd data and ignore reading problems

depeneds why? if your computer is slow, probably ram.  if you have 512 or more, than dvd.  if you dont have that much ram, than a dvd burner is just going to be slower when burning

My first guess would be the dvd burner because memory does not have a device driver, but you should confirm this by removeing either the memory or the burner to see if the problem persists.\n\nIf it is the burner, you should go the the manufacturer's web site and download and install the latest driver.\n\nIf it is the memory, then you have defective memory and you should return it to the store under warranty.

try putting in another cd to see if it reads. If not, you probably have a driver detection error and will need to download the specific cd-rom driver for your computer. I suggest chatting with tech support on your computer manufacturer's website (it's free). They will definitely be able to give you the link to download the appropriate driver.

probably because you don't have a cdrw or dvdrw.... look at the front of your dvd drive  if it says rw/r then you need to check your settings otherwise you need to invest in a rewriter :)

unless you've made changes to your system lately (i.e. reformatting, installed new software, etc.) it is probably a hardware failure and needs to be replaced.  You can see what device manger tells you about the status.  Right click on my computer, select manage, select, device manager, browse to your cd drive and see what it says about the device properties.

Can you add a little more info?\n\nIs D a CD&#92;DVD drive? Another partition on your hard drive partition?  Another hard drive itself?\n\nAs cliched as it sounds, if you are running a Windows system, rebooting may repair.

Have been watching this question because I was hoping someone knew the answer. Apparently they don't. My only guess would be that you have too much memory stored up, and need to use your disc cleaner more often. If you are not happy with the disc cleaner that came with the computer, you can download a free CCleaner {crap cleaner}, at http://www.ccleaner.com ---good luck. \nHow much RAM do you have? You may need to add more, or delete/uninstall some of the stuff you have on your computer.

There may be something up with the laser on your DVD drive, which would suggest a hardware fault perhaps.  Im not too sure about software stuff but there may be settings that are causing it to stop prematurely. Check that all your DVDs are clean and that the bay itself is fee from dust etc...

There is either something wrong with your burner or its possible that the cd or dvd has copywrite stuff added to them so that you cant download it right. They do that to protect the copywrite material.
