My computer shuts down when I put either a cd or dvd?

sounds like the power supply runs on the edge. keep in mind that starting up a CD/DVD drive needs some power and this could turn the PSU over the edge, resulting in an immediate shut down.\nP.S. could also be a defective (short circuit) CD/DVD drive.

boot to safe mode (F8)\ntry system restore ,go back to before Norton and hope it works\nanother thing you can try in safe mode is to uninstall you cd/dvd rom then reboot

No, this is caused by hardware changes to your computer.  Windows has a built-in feature which requires you to reactivate your product code after a given number of hardware changes have been made.  By adding a new DVD player, you exceeded the limit for hardware changes, and you have to put in the windows CD key again.  Hopefully you still have that, because if you don't, you might be in trouble.

Simple answer: Yes.\n\n\nA little more complex answer: If you screwed with your registry without knowing what you are doing, do yourself a favor and reinstall windows.  Registry can and will cause a computer to go into shutdown.  If you want to go through some ahssel, try to do a system restore to take you back to before this problem happened

your dvd burner is givin the error because a: you don't have enough ram on your puter to keep up with its needs, b: your using cheap dvd's, or c: your computer just doesn't like you and should be whacked with a stick till it plays nice again :D\n\nR3dm0

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.

try clicking altogether ctrl+alt+delete and click shut down. if it's still not working, you have to contact your pc manufacturer

It's an error with a Windows component. It happens when the Windows Installer that handles the setup procedures of a lot of programmes fails. It can be caused by a dirty CD/DVD or by a corrupted installation source (some file I/O error).\nReboot the computer, clean the CD/DVD or copy the installation files again from the source.\nMicrosoft has an article on error 1335 in their knowledge base: \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/314810

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!

Hi there...to force eject the DVD shutdown your Powerbook and upon restarting it hold down the trackpad mouse button until the disc ejects.

Check whether the power cable & the data cable to the CD/DVD is fixed properly. Also clean the lens with a lens cleaner CD. \ns

it could be a dead drive that needs replaced. the dvd and cd reading heads are seperate, so it is possible for one to be working and not the other, and if you use the cd head more than the dvd, it isn't a stretch for it to be the one to give out first.\ntry a cleaning kit. if that doesn't work, you'll probably need to replace it.

Make sure there are no floppies or cds in the computer when it is booting up.  Otherwise your hard drive may be in trouble.

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

Only thing I know is it may be a bad cd-r disk. I've had that problem. If you've tried multiple disks, I don't known what to tell you. Hope this helps!
