Hello I've had many devices this christmas for my computer (mostly USB). I've set them up fine, having no problems. Then today i plugged in my freecom external DVD RW, installed two programs that come with it - "cineplayer" and "easy media creator" i then restarted my computer. On reaching the desktop there was about 10-15 seconds before the computer went into reboot. This constant reboot then went onto a loop. Sometimes it rebooted at the welcome screen, sometimes it rebooted after being on the desktop for a couple of seconds. It seemed random. I tried safe mode: straight into the reboot loop again. I cleaned for dust inside (thinking overheating of motherboard or something i read somewhere) then i did a reboot to a "previous working condition" thingy. The computer started up but with that old error message "your system just recoverd from a serious error". It keeps coming up and up and up all the time. i uninstalled both bundled software programs from my computer. I havn't uninstalled the dvd driver which was automatically installed. Some help with that would be great. (i hope i'm in the right section) i'm obviously a bit worried about this error though now. The "more information" section of the error window goes on to give these numbers: BCCode: 1000007f BCP1:00000008 BCP2:80042000 would it be good to follow the help here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316434 thanks for any help makihara
