CD-R & DVD+R's crash PC

[Gerry]

I keep a collection of *.jpg photos on CD-R's and DVD+R's using "Sonic's"
DLA for recording and finalizing the CD's. That worked on my old Dell as
well as on my new HP Pavilion & Compaq laptop. Recently ejecting the CD's
after viewing, both PC's crash and blue screen is asking to check for BIOS
updates or Hardware updates.
Could have HP's automated updates have caused that change?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention, HP Pavilion has WinXP-Media and Compaq WinXP-Home OS.

if you right click my computer go to properties tools device manager and
check the driver is not faulty on your
