Why does bootup stall and red light blink on my burner until I manually turn it off ? Then bootup resumes ..?

If this is an internal drive, try these few things. first, make sure there is not a bootable disk in the drive, next, make sure that your drives jumpers are set at the right orientation ( master, slave) then check the bios by pressing F2 or Del on startup, check and see if your bios are reading the drive correctly. Check all cable connections and reseat them. Maybe try uninstalling Norton and reinstalling and see if that is the problem. You can also update the drivers and if worst comes to worst get a new drive. you can get them direct at newegg.com for around $25

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.

it could be because your burner broke?  or maybe it got unplugged?  Is it an internal burner or an external one?  If external, make sure that it is powered and that the connection cable is secure.\n\nThe best way to test is to simply put a regular music CD on the burner and see if you can play it using Windows Media Player.  Or just put in a software CD and see if you can access the files in it.  \n\nThis will tell you if your burner is still working.

Hit f8 continually in startup. If you get an option to restore system to previous time accept it. starting up in safe mode should work.

Check the battery..Go buy a new Battery.. See if it boots up then..If it dosent then it looks like a computer doctor is needed.Could be costly. If its an old one. it might pay you go buy a newer one.

need more info than that to diagnose.  make sure your cables are plugged in tightly?  is the jumpers on the hard drive on the correct pins?  can you hear it booting up. when does it stop?\ntoo many variables

Shut off the power to the stove then turn it back on and see it it stops.  If not, leave the power off and call a repairman

Reboot it! If is doesn't work then reboot it again!

Should start automatically but if you know when it stopped doing it roughly then you could do a system restore to a point just before you had problems.

Seems to be a glitsch in Windows XP.  I have the same.  It gets slightly better after going through a safe mode start (F8 while booting).

Is it a 16x burner? If it is, try updating the firmware.

Two things I would first check, \n1. Make sure the reset button is not stuck.\n2. Make sure your BIOS does not have the "Wake on LAN" feature turn on, especially if you have DSL, or Cable Internet.

Because you have already checked if anything was overheating.\nI would check if the ram.\n\nIf you have two sticks of ram installed try booting with just one. Of course test both of them.
