This is a wierd error that i came across. I have an AMD Sampron processor and a Gigabyte Motherboard with 128Mb DDR ram. I also have a samsung dvd drive installed. I bought this system in november. It was working fine till now. The system works fine normally but if i put a cd or a dvd into the drive my system shuts down immediately. Its not a gradual shutdown, the whole system just goes down. Can someone tell me what the problem could be?.

Thanks in advance

Can it be a VIRUS ?

Most probably it is one of the W32 ones that might cause damage when the autorun feature is invoked !

just perform all the routine stuff ...

:arrow: scan with latest virus definitions

:arrow: if possible do an online scan

:arrow: run spybot nd adaware

:arrow: run > msconfig > clear all unwanted entries

:arrow: remove CD ROM/DVD ROM drives frm device manager,restart the PC,XP will install back the devices nd check....

still not working ??? check out ur SMPS...can be its fault...as soon as CD/DVD drive draws power the system shuts down...try out this way...disable autorun..insert the disc nd restart i.e the system shud start with a disc already in the drive... open my computer after restart nd browse the CD...see if system shuts down ..

I guess the SMPS is gone...

a virus affecting windows
32 bit system

That's what mate !
The Autoplay programs are 32 bit exe (in win XP, it resides within the OS)
and hence it might be vulnerable to the attack !

What say ?

i thnk not virus....

plz forgive if i m wrong..

may be..............................................
in some cabinets..cd drive/DVD drives nearer to RAM slot...

so when u open & close the drive , it just stucks with the RAM & RAM will jst move or anything with it can turn it in OFF/RESTART...

in my college that was the bad thing that when C inserted .. it stucks with the RAM & " RAM ke hilne se PC restart hota tha"...Bcs small cabinets //or// big C/DVD drive....


so plz check that ur RAM should not stucked by ur drive
