It even shuts down if i try to import a cd into itunes. When i turn it back on it says 'your system has recovered from a fatal error'.

Its probably a driver issue. Go to the laptop manufactures' website under 'Support' and download the most current driver for the DVD/CD drive for the OS you're running.

It really all depends what kind of computer it is, and what software/op system you are running. In laptops, usually models made 1990-2001 have shown to overheat very easily. With that said, when importing a dvd or cd, the motor, and drive has to work harder, hense more heat. Some of these older laptops have a safty off mode.
Rec: Run Norton System works (all of the plugins) and see if it could be a software glich. If that dosn't work or show any improvement, I would say to take it to a expert (stay away from the geek squad....honestly they don't know as much as most people think....based off of experience). Take it to a suitable business that can help look over the mainframe and interworking to see if their might be a problem.

OK, I think that ur machine is heating, clean fans n stuff as said above, but, it could be ur power supplier or maybe some problem with ur DVD- burner.

Hi. Your machine may be overheating. Clean the fans and the CPU heatsink. Simply burning a disk is intensive on your CPU.
