how can you hijack a year old thread? and even if it was a new thread is it wrong to ask for help in this thread? then you would have others say "this was answered in another thread"

The problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with the OP, and is way off topic.
the problem he has is computer shuts off like the original op.

no wonder newbies don't know what to do.

I've now learned that it's important to check every date in a thread. Didn't realize until after I posted that bigjohn bumped an older post. Just kinda went along with the theme of the thread.

bigjohns and hobo10, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

Guys -
No worries. I'm prolly old enough to be your father (luke, I am your faaather...). I've been online longer than most (before there was WWW...).

So, I use MBM - my temps are good. Just further info for you guys:
Motherboard bios and chipset drivers are all latest.
AMD Athlon 3000+ overclocked.
1.5gb ram (pc2700)
This is the second LG drive I've tried. And the first drive I tried the master setting. I will try it again... I think something screwed up software wise, but not certain... when I insert a DVD in any drive, it opens up an explorer window (file explorer)...

you mean it shows the audio_ts and video_ts folders? if so just close it then try your dvd playing software.
i thought you said it reboots before hand.

IF I put the disc into the LG drive, yes. It reboots within 2 minutes. Sometimes it opens the folder view, other times, just BLIP.

Don't dismiss it being a heat issue. This happened to me last year (but it was close to summer). I posted in forums and most told me it sounded heat related. I refused to accept it cause I'm a big game player and didn't have any heat related problems (that I was aware of). Just for the hell of it I opened my Abit monitor and watched it as DVD Shrink was analyzing. I was quite surprised to see how quickly the temps rose. I watched the temps hit into the 130's F and bam, instant reboot (my particular cpu overclocked doesn't like sustained temps higher than that). If you don't have your Startup and Recovery settings set to auto restart at system failure (I don't) usually a heat issue is the only thing that's going to cause a reboot without warning. Took the side off the case and it solved my problems (and then I upgraded my cpu heatsink/fan). To date I have not seen ANY program hit the cpu as hard as DVD Shrink (including all the games I've played). DVD Shrink uses 100% of the cpu through the whole Analyzing/Encoding process. In comparison, the burn uses about 8%.

well i tried to get 1 of my old comp to simulate this without any errors or warning messages and couldn't. as i always received a message (but could not read most of it)before shutdown.
1. that was by overheating the cpu
2. and overloading my power supply.

Performed these steps:

1 - shut computer off 1 hour
2 - power up computer
3 - login to windows
4 - put DVD into LG drive

Computer rebooted in 2 minutes

Repeat 1-3 above
4 - put DVD into old BTC DVD burner
5 - load DVD Shrink
6 - copy DVD to hard disk

In both instances at start CPU temp was 40c

After RIP, CPU temp was 47c

Just more info to chew on...*sigh*

Ok Guys... more info:

Shut computer down for an hour. It's cold. On bootup go into bios to pause things, put a DVD in the LG drive. Exit bios - Computer boots into windows. Computer loads services, gives me the LOGIN page, I login (about a minute 30 seconds have past since the WIN2000 screen...) BOOM... Reboot.

So, last night I spent a bunch of time removing Nero. I also removed all the PowerDVD software that came with the drive. Anyone know how to make sure you've completely ripped AnyDVD out of the registry?

Re: PC Rebooting itself when trying to burn certain movies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you play any games on your system? If so are any of the with Starforce anti-copying protections system? Auto rebooting is one of the more deadly aspects of this nasty critter. Even after you remove the offending software from your system it leaves behind registry items... This can mess up your optical drives and / or auto reboot. Pick up the latest PC Gamer Mag or check this out... http://www.glop.org/starforce/

Perhaps something in those titles protection system is triggering this..

starting to think it was INCD from NERO.

I'll post more again later.
