Hi, My friend has a EMachine with a Intel D845GVSR MB and 768 RAM and Celeron Processor (Not Sure of the speed).
XP Home, LG DVD Writer.
Whats happening is when she inserts a DVD into the drive the light blinks and then flickers for a sec and goes out and then 1 sec later the light comes on steady for 3-4 seconds and the computer reboots (crashes). No blue screen and its set to NOT automatically reboot. There is nothing associated with the DVD, By that I meean no programs are set to start when you insert it. I've removed DVD Suite and Nero just in case and it still happens. If she lets it reboot and leaves the DVD in the drive then everything works. Except she gets 2 or 3 "Computer has Recovered from a Serious Error" messages.
Any ideas, BIOS Update?
I noticed it had a 40 pin cable to the drive which it shares with a CD-Writer.
Thanks in advance
Dave
