You have to specify the OS you are using and its exact version

Reboot (restart) in safe mode, then go to  control panel/system/advanced tab/startup and recovery box/settings button/ sytem failure/ and   then uncheck  "restart on system failure" ( take the check out of automatically restart box )  , and then  check the "Write a system event", and the "Admin alert" boxes (check "send admin alert")  and  the next time it randomly turns off,  you should get a blue screen with white text, which will have code info.   Write down the exac Stop Error Code and put  that exact error into the google search box to see what info you get,  and/or  post that exact error here in this thread \n Also go to your device manager (devmgmt.msc) and check the properties  and look for anything suspicious and check that the settings are where they should be.

Try to install it completely. Reboot. Uninstall. Reboot.\n\nSBC Software always sucks, and always likes you to reboot often.\n\nIf that doesn't work then your computer has problems...

Sorry, I really need more information to really do you any good. But I will try the best I can with what you have provided. It sounds like you are saying your CD Rom device is failing and causing a crash in a computer. Now, a few things can go wrong with devices. The device itself could be failing, or a device driver is no longer working properly or was recently updated and is not functioning well. Drivers and driver updates are the number one cause of the BSD-Blue Screen of Death. You can also have installed new hardware recently which is no in confict with you CD Rom Drive. If you recently added hardware then you will need to disconnect and see if the problem is fixed. \n\nHowever, you need to remove the hardware the right way. You need to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" applet (program) wizard. You should have an icon on the notification area which is the safety remove hardware icon and access it via a right click. \n\nYou may need to boot up into safe mode which you do by turning the computer off, then back on and immediantly after the manufacturers logo is gone slowly tap on F8 key. This will get you into the other boot options menu. Use your arrow keys to navigate up or down to "Safe Mode". When the user screen appears click on the administrator account. If you have XP Home you do not need the password for this account just click its account icon. If you have Windows XP Professional and set an administrator password (which I highly reccomend) then put the password in and wait while the account boots up onto the screen. In Safe Mode you can do several things. You can use System Restore, You can remove programs delete drivers, update drivers, rollback drivers, and basically do trouble shooting by using device manager, and many other administrator tools for finding and fixing problems. \n\nWhile in safe mode check on safely removing any hardware item you just recently installed. If you have not done this then did you update a driver recently? If so go in and either remove the device and then the driver or roll the driver back to its previos state by using device manager. Click on Start go to control panel, click on System. then on the hardware tab click Device manager. Find the device driver needed right click and choose properties and then click on the driver tab. On the driver tab click Roll back driver. Or Remove if that is what you prefer. \n\nNow, there is limited space here for me to tell you all the possibilities which have caussed this problem. I went over the most basic and common causes and offered options on fixing them. If you have done nothing to your computer recently then your CD Rom Drive may very well have gone bad on you and needs replacing. This would be a repair job I do not reccomend a novice do on his/her own. Call the closest Geek Squad and get somebody over to fix this for you. You may be surprised at how inexpensive it is for somebody else to fix your computer. The Geek Squad also gives lessons in how to work with your computer. You can also buy Microsoft Press books on simple computer repair, of the "Upgrading and fixing PC's for dummies" book. It is informative and helpful for beginners.\n\nGood luck fixing your problem. If you have not recently added anything to your computer call somebody in who knows what they are doing to fix this for you.

well, Im no expert but you could have provided more detail. Like when did this start to happen? Have you installed anything lately? There might have been a conflict with some other software or you might have intentionally deleted some files that it needs to run. I suggest that you either go for system restore or if that doesnt do that trick uninstall then reinstall...Hope that helps. (",)

Right click on My Computer icon> properties>Click on Advance Tab>Down at the bottom find Start up and System Recovery> hit the settings> uncheck---Under System Failure----Automatically Restart..\nThat should take care of it temporarily.\nU might wanna rebuilt your PC from scratch...U might have some other serious issues which is causing it.\nGood Luck.

Your machine is lacking in memory.\n\nYou are running too many memory resident programs and/or you have more windows open (could be browser windows or other applications). \n\nReduce the active load on your machine.\n\nIf that does not help, then restart, may be a program is stuck in a loop somewhere.\n\nIf even that does not help, run an anti-virus, may be you have avirus.\n\nIf that also does not help, try reinstalling the operating system.\n\nIn case nothing of the above works, get a new machine with better specs.

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

Lot's of possibilities. Do you have at least 256 MegaByte (MB) of RAM? Do you have a least 500 MB of extra hard drive space left? Are you running Windows XP? Have you been doing your routine housekeeping chores on your computer, like running AdAware, AVG AntiVirus, and Registry Mechanic or similar repair utilities? Do you have a software FireWall in place like ZoneAlarm? Have you defragmented your hard drive in the last 6 months? Have you got over a dozen icons in your tray (those little icons in the lower right hand corner of your screen)? Have you rebooted your computer lately? Are you on a network with other computers competing for the same internet connection? Are you on dial-up rather than wideband? What processes are running in the background?\n\nOnce you check on all that, I can recommend diagnostic utilities like "quick startup", "cCleaner", "ewido", "autoruns", and "active ports" (all freeware as are the utility programs above) to help you locate the problem. Finally, check your CPU usage statistics via START/Accessories/System Tools.

try restarting your computer

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.

My husband had this problem the other night,don't know what happened though.  Try shutting down your computer and restart it in 5 minutes. This will reboot the system.
