PC kicks off when playing DVD

Post by Jim Ashton »

My computer kicks off whenever I try to play a DVD. I think there is a conflict, but I can't locate it. I have tryed Power DVD, real audio/video, and microsoft player to no avail.
used to work good. Any suggestions??? Thanks

What do you mean by "kicks off"?? Does it power off? Do you get a "blue screen"?, etc.

What operating system do you have? Also what kind of PC and how much memory.

Does this just happen with one DVD in particular or any DVD? I have an instructional DVD that causes my computer to reboot every time I put it in.

It would just shut down after about 1 minute of playing. Have to reboot. I got the Power DVD to finally work last night. Went over the entire set-up and now it is OK. Thanks anyway.
