My pc shutdown while burning

[daemqn]

Hi everybody,

 

I've been using this pc for two or three month, and it worked fine apart with imgburnpro 2.4.2.0 recently

My pc shutdown (no blue screen) when beginning to burn image both with verbatim DVD-R or DVD-DL

I have a 64 bits Windows Vista, 4 gig of ram and Athlon X2 5400+ (not overclocked) I have a pioneer DVDR-112 on IDE. My hard drive are on sata

It worked fine at the beginning, then suddendly when burning an iso of a dvd (on a single side dvd-r verbatim) the pc shutdown.

no blue screen no error message in the event manager.

next time I burn it, it works fine.

tonight, its a no go and I stopped after wasting 2 verbs DL

 

Is there a log file ?

Any help ?

 

Thanks

Sounds like a hardware problem. Check the CPU temperature to see if it's in the good range. Also check the BIOS for a "shutdown on overheat" setting and see if it isn't set to a low value. You might also want to monitor/test your power supply (SpeedFan comes to mind).

thanks for your answer, I will check the temperature.

But I don't have this problem while playing a game like crysis on it.it just happen when burning.

I updated my firmware burner to see. will test sunday

Maybe it's a driver issue then.

 

Use the Filter driver feature in the tools menu to see which ones are running on your PC (copy + paste the info for us).

 

Actually shutting down the PC is pretty severe!

Might wanna activate the 'blue screen' to see what causes it - driver or something.

 

In the part that starts with this

 

Read The Signs

 

If the blue screen persist, you may wish to tackle the problem directly by reading the error message. On Windows XP when a stop error occurs, the system will reboot itself. To fully study this error message, you have to disable your computer from auto restarting when this happens.

You can read how to change the settings.

hi,

 

ok, its been a while.

I gave up because I was so bored of this

Now I reinstalled my pc under seven 64 bits french, and have the same issue.

I have got no blue screen.

I deactivated the automatic reboot.

I have closed all resident in the tray.

It worked for some burn after I reinstalled on 7 so I thought it was fixed.

My hardware is the same.

Very stable, no hangs up or blue screen even if Im playing Modern Warfare 2 @1360*768 max details

I have only this when burning with imgburn.

My dvd writer seems to work fine while playing music. But I think the problem comes from it

I've got the latest imgburn version

Not sure I understand you. You have tried with other burning programs?

 

Is there anything in the windows log?

Sorry I meant : I only have this issue (computer shutting down) while burning a DVD (DL or SL)

I dont use any other burning program because imgburn is very light and has always been very stable. (except on this PC)

 

I've seen nothing on the windows log system (applications or system)

It just log the restart.

My motherboard / processor has no shutdown temperature

Could be an underpowered power unit. Had that issue ages ago with to many optical drives installed. Seems it uses more power when you actually use the drive than when it's idle and then it gave me a blue screen.
