Adding media, usually blank to my HP+- RW DL Lightscribe drive will cause a bluescreen of death to appear. It reads something like "The system shut itself off to keep from damaging itself." It is a pretty nice system Pentium 4 630, 1 gig of ram, and about 1 year old. It began doing this, the harddrive was reformatted, and it began doing it again. If you ask i currently have about 40gig free on my 200gb harddrive.

Could be your PSU not having enough watts to handle an extra drive running.

Burning uses a lot of the CPU, when burning run task manger this way you will be able to see your CPU usage & be able to see if any programs are running in the back ground (if they are turn them off) if no program running in the back ground & you still have the same problem them look at you cpu fan, you could be over heating.

See if you can bump up your ram to 2gig - that should help your virtual memory and let you work with bigger files.
