This is something new to me---
When I insert a program disk or a cd-RW disk in the CD rom drive it
restarts Windows.
Help please ,Richard
 
Your problem is caused by a bad driver, which in turn is throwing an error,
and the default Windows setting to 'restart on error" happens. Go to
start/run, and type:
eventvwr.msc
Your system is probably recording the error every time it restarts, and will
probably list the name of the device driver responsible.

i would of thought maybe some form or virus or spyware? try comodo.net for
some really good virus scanners and see how you get on

Not necessarily. A system completely free of viruses and spyware can
behave this way.

Windows has a "restart on failure" feature that is ON by default. At a
crash, Windows will suddenly shut off and restart, throwing away whatever
you're doing at the time. This is by design.

That won't address basic crashes, however.

Did you install a UDF writer utility with your CD burning software,
like InCD that comes with Nero? InCD crashes too often. Usually I
install it because it looks good, find that I never use it, sometimes
it causes bluescreens, so I end up uninstalling it. Did you install
some CD monitoring software, like what used to come with the Creative
Labs soundcards (which could modify the hold-spin time and would
affect the popup window's contents that displays when a CD got
detected)?
 
Thank you all for the help---
What is actually happening is that the DD-DVD drive runs Audio disks
without any problem but the moment a data disk gets up to speed it
triggers a reboot.
The events code shows the event codes 1003 &.1517
When the system is newly booted and prior to inserting a dik ,the events
viewr is clean.
I suspect that the CD-Rom drive is faulty.
I await your thoughts.

Thank you again---
This morning after the machine was off all night I once again received
the error message that Windows had recovered from a very serious problem
as the registry could not be cleared as some operation was running
during the shutdown.
I checked the events viewer immediately and found the following:

When Windows support received the report I received a "Corrupted event
report message" saying that they could not use it, but that I was to
find out what hardware or software had been added recently.

No hardware added and the only software added was updates from MS.

I tried to restore from an earlier restore point but a report said it
could not be used as it was corrupted !
I hope this will help you---
I think maybe I should check the RAM?
Regards,Richard

Is there a C:\debuglog.txt file?

See
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=1003&eventno=1274&source=System&phase=1.

Did you read my other post?
 
Thank you all for the help, and all your patience---All is now back to
"normal"'whatever that is !
I went back to all your previous posts and re-read them--
I then deleted InCD and also a reference to Cyberlink which also
referred to a DVD suite.
I think that I acquired the InCD bit as part of a Nero upgrade.
And thank you too for all the new ideas and diagnostic stuff that I did
not know was out there.
I certainly have made a note to record any further upgrades,updates etc
so as to be able to pinpoint causes of these kind of events.
Kindest regards from a much relieved ,Richard
