I have Windows XP on my computer, the cd-rom is NEC ND4570a, I tried different disks - with games, even an antivirus made the computer restart. Sometimes it reads the disks-sometimes restarts. I'm trying to find out if the cd-rom is broken or it is caused by the driver or something else. Tried to updat the firmware - didn't help. tried to find an update to the driver, but I can't find anything exept the fact that it is provided by microsoft and there are no updates. Does anybody know what is causing the problem? I had another cd-rom before and it was reading all disks perfectly well.
