| Vista freezes or computer shuts down Hi All ,Newbie here looking for some help. I have a Gateway computer,507gr,Added Windows Vista premium about 6 months ago,Pentium 4 ,3 ghz,Ati 1300 graphics card added, Creative sound blaster added, 2 gig memory. It seems lately almost everytime I put a cd or dvd in the optcal drive{Lite-on] it either locks up or the computer just shuts down. I just bought a registry program and that did not help,I checked and made sure all the drivers were updated which they were. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks |

| All Drivers updated as in WHICH WAY.. [WDDM or Beta] Most problems today are from BETA drivers....I strongly recommend you use the DEFAULT Drivers from Vista if your having PROBLEMS... and I recommend you check with your MOBO manufacture and UPDATE THE LATEST BIOS. and use the latest FIRMWARE for your CD/DVD device.

| You can try the following: Right-click Computer and select properties > Click Device Manager > Expand DVD/CD-Rom drives > Right-click the drive and select uninstall > Restart your PC. Vista should reinstall the hardware once started. Verify it's installed and try inserting a CD or DVD.
