cd/dvd drive

[Guest]

whenever I insert a cd/dvd, the system starts to reboot. I tried changing the
cd/dvd drive, but still stuck with the same problem.
will some expert on windows xp please give me a solution.

I don't claim to be an expert on Windows XP, but...

There could be several causes for the rebooting. The first thing we need
to know is: does this happen with every CD or DVD or just some?
Commercially made or home made?

The reason I ask is to try to narrow down the possibilities. If you
reboot with every CD and DVD, always, commercial and home made, you've
probably got a power supply that needs to be replaced.

One way to check: After the computer reboots, presumably with the disc
still in the drive, can you read the disk without a problem? If you
can't, and you reboot again, it's almost certainly the power supply. If
you /can/ read the disc, it's probably something else.

the best of qulaity cd/dvd. I shall confirm if this works

Thanks again your solution did work. After replacing the power supply unit
all problems went away.
