Blue screen while recording CD

[whoisurdaddy 0]

Hello, I was using my brother's computer last night and while recording a CD with Nero (5.564), I got this blue screen and I had to press reset to restart the comp. I only get this blue screen while using recording a CD. Other than that, the computer runs perfectly fine doing other stuff. I am thinking it might be power supply problem. Here is the spec of my brother's system:

 

Windows XP Prof

300 Watts Power Supply

Abit KT7A

Athlon 900

768 mb of PC-133 memory

20 GB Quantum HD

30 GB IBM HD

16x Pioneer DVD drive

8x4x24x Creative CDRW drive

SB Live! 5.1

Geforce2 MX

Netgear network card

Heyo,

 

I seem to recall that Nero was on the list of Applications that are aided by the WinXP Application Compatibility Patch, though I'm not sure which versions it was.

 

If you haven't already installed this patch, you may want to grab it at

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

I'm not sure if this'll fix your problem or not (or if you've already installed this fix), but it may be worth a shot.

 

Best of luck

Yeah, I have already installed all the patch available on the windows update site and I even installed Via's latest 4in1 driver. Still getting the same problem.

Stay of the Via 4in1 they are known to cause trouble...

Not all the time, tho. They fixed some stability issues I was having.

 

Oh, whoisurdaddy, does the BSOD list any files in it? That'll be your culprit most likely;)

Brian Frank: no, the BSOD didn't list any files. It said something like: Bad_Pool_Caller or something like that...
