Every time I put a cd in the drive-my pc crashes!!!

[drunkenmaster]

I have a Sony dvd rw dw Q30a drive in my PC.
When I try to either listen to cds or play games the pc crashes to a blue screen.
This may not be always straight away and can occur intermittently.
Motherboard bios is Phoenix Award v6.00PG

Any advice and help would be highly appreciated - thank you

Some more info on your spec is it overclocked etc. Does it blue screen only during cd use?

always try using a different ide ribbon conector from the cd to the motherboard...its usually the problem
