This shouldn't be happening in normal circumstances, as there is nothing to correlate the operations of the PC based upon the CD drive being opened or closed. I've tried to replicate this symptom on my machine at home and am unable to do so.

What happens if you insert a pre-written CD (a music CD for instance) instead? If the "rewriter" were an external part of the PC, there could be some "handshake" issues in the manner of operation, but nothing comes to mind about why the machine would simply shut off just from inserting a disk.

hi if i put any other pre-written CD/ DVD in it plays ok its only when i put a blank disc in CD or DVD , so i can burn a file to disc , it shuts down, if i leave the disc in and try to reboot as soon as the curser comes on, it shuts down, i have to take the disc out to reboot. thank you a w howard.
