Almost every time I insert a CD or DVD into the DVD combo drive, it restarts my computer. Do you have any ideas what would be the cause of this? I have a custom built computer, AMD Sempron, 80 GB hard drive and 768 RAM. The computer is less than a year old. Any ideas as to the reason and a way to stop this from happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Well it's some corrupted driver and it's crashing the PC. What OS are you runnning? Try uninstalling all CD/DVD drives using the Device Manager. Turn off the PC and disconnect all but one drive. Reboot and let windows find it again and install driver. Try running a CD.
To turn off automatic reboot (assuming XP), right click on "My Computer"/properties/Advanced tab/Start-up and Recovery settings. Uncheck auto reboot. Now you can see the BSOD stop code, when it happens again.

Like Mick said, the DVD combo drive may not be compatible with the operating system you are using. Are you using Windows XP?

The drive may not be compatible with your machine, check the manufacturers website for details.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
