I am running Windows 7 Professional and recently, my NEC External Firewire DVD Drive shuts my computer down when I insert any kind of a dvd disk. My system recognizes my drive in "My Computer" but when I insert a disk, either data or Movie, It takes about 5 seconds and I get the dreaded blue screen that flashes by so quickly that you can't read it and the computer shuts completely down in one step.
If I reboot with the same disk in the drive, I can go to MY Computer, and click on the drive and everything works fine. I can remove the same disk, reinsert it again and it will read it, play it perfectly. All is well until I put in a different disk. Blue screen and shut down.
I have a second DVD drive which is internal and I can put a source disk in it and a blank disk in the NEC drive and do a copy disk just fine. The NEC drive has served me well and maybe it's time to replace it. Anybody have any suggestions?
PS... I have removed the drive and reinstalled it and I still get the same thing.
