Hello,
I have just done a clean install of Windows XP Pro.
Everything seems to be working fin except for my cd
drive. Everytime I try to load something out of it my
system crashes(shutsdown). The drives are all up to date
on it. And I have ran tests on it through programs and
it says everything is fine. My ram tests ok as well. It
happens when I goto install something through it. It
will start just fine. Then in about 30 seconds it just
shuts down. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

My System is:
Athlon XP 1800+
512 MB PC2100 RAM
Windows XP Pro
NVidia GeForce 2 MX200 32MB
Atapi 48x24x48 CD
 
Daron, rt click MyComputer>Select Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>IDE
ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Rt click on
Primary>Prop>Advanced Settings. See if DMA is enabled. Same with the
Secondary Controller. If yes, then change
to PIO mode. If no, then select DMA mode.
