OK, I don't even know where to begin. Everything was fine a week ago, and now it's gone bonkers. I bought a DVD burner, installed it and everything was fine. I burned a couple of disks; things worked. Then one day it stopped in the middle of a disk and has not worked since. I keep getting an error message like "can not read device because of I/O error". In the process of trying to make it work, I took it out and put it back in, just as I had before. About the same time, I was having trouble with my EZ antivirus. I was told to run Winsock, which I did. Now my computer keeps restarting, sometimes right when I start the computer. The long story is because I do not know what caused the problem. I have checked, and the auto-restart on critical errors is not enabled in windows xp. Could some one help me, or direct me to possible solutions to my problem: 1. Why is my computer restarting for no apparent reason? 2. Why can't I get my DVD player to work?
