What version of Windows? What are you doing when it stops? How much RAM do you have?

Hi,
I use Microsoft xp home edition XP home version 2002 service pk 2 VAIO computer p 2.80 ghz , 504 of Ram. It crashes when I am downloaing music or burning cd's. Some time it restarts it self.

What software are you using when it crashes? Is it the same for both tasks? Have you tried reinstalling that software? Have you done error checking and defragging from Disk Maintenance?

Not yet I will do it right now
Thanks

I don't no which software is causing the problem but I updated my drivers it has not crashed yet.
Thanks

Hi,
If updating your drivers keeps it from crashing, then you are good to go!
If it crashes again, you might have to use System Restore, or use the Repair option on your install CD's.
If you have never used System Restore; here is a step by step link showing how to use it:
