Right heres my problem,
I re-formatted a couple of days ago and re-installed the operating system xp home and all the proggys. I tried to burn a dvd yesterday which the program (intervideo dvd copy) said was successful but wouldn't play on my dvd player or dvd rom drive. Today I installed Alcohol to burn an image and when I turned on the external dvd writer, it shut the computer down. I've tried several times now but every time I turn it on it shuts the computer down. I havn't got a clue whats doing it or why. When the puter comes back on I get the message that windows has recovered from a serious error. Any ideas whats causing it peeps?
Im running xp home sp1
pentium 4, 2.4ghz, fugitsu siemens laptop.
