I have not been writing to or accessing CD-RW formatted disk recently but today when I tried by inserting a previously recorded CD-RW disk it caused the computer to immediatly reboot. It reboots to normal operation and so far everything else appears to be functioning OK. However, repeating the attempts to read a CD-RW continues to cause the computer to reboot. This happens for both the CD-ROM drive and the DVD writer drive.

 

My computer is a DELL Dimension 8200; 512MB RAM;

Two hard drives, Western Digital ST 3160023A & ST380021A.

 

DVD      drive is: LITE-ON DVDRW SOAW16935 (NERO OEM SUITE software)

CD-RW drive is: LITE-ON LTR-24102M

 

Thanks in advance for your help in solving this problem.
