Rebooting when inserting a blank DVD disk

[Jeff G]

It seems that I all of a sudden started getting reboots when I insert a blank
DVD disk for copying, it does not do this with original disks, sometimes no
matter what dvd program I use it will load up and reboot when it tries to
access the disk for copying. I have tried reinstalling programs etc and
different blank disks with no avail. I seem to think it is a software issue
either a driver with windows (since my TDK dvd drive did not come with
drivers which most dont anymore) or another file in windows that is corrupt.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Is some program set up to autoplay/autorun when a blank DVD is inserted?
If so and if the program was missing or corrupt I'd guess that you
might be rewarded with a crash and reboot. IIRC you can prevent
autoplay/autorun by holding down the shift key while inserting the disk.
