CD burning trouble with laptop

[Guest]

My laptop has an internal 'Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2312' which is my CD/DVD
drive. It used to be able to burn cds before without any trouble, but now
every time I try to burn a cd, the whole laptop shuts down. I made sure that
the writing speed was under the cd's max speed, that i wasn't using a generic
brand blank cd, that the drive is installed correctly, and that it is running
on AC power (not battery). I thought the problem might have been with the
software I was using for burning- Cakewalk Pyro, but using Realplayer, the
same thing happened. I ran a few virus scans as well, and I just cannot
figure out the problem. If anyone can help...or has any suggestions, it would
be really appreciated. Thanks

Sonds like an overheating problem. Contact the notebook manufacturer.

Ok, try this, download cdgone.zip and backup your registry to be safe (read
the readme file) and merge the cdgone.reg (right click, merge) file to the
registry and reboot the computer. This should clear up the problem, though
you will also have to reinstall any third party cd/dvd related burning apps
etc.. if they are required or needed, it's your choice..
