I have a friend who has a laptop and when she tries to burn a cd halfway through the burn the computer shuts down it's an HP about a year old. Any ideas?

maybe she has too many running programs?



I had that problem when I first put a cd burner in my computer and had too many running programs.



Tell her to shut down any programs that arent needed for the burning.

Sounds like processor overheat to me. Check and make sure the cooling fan is running and the heatsink is clean.

that's what I thought... but I've never taken apart a laptop before... should I be scared of it?

No! They can smell fear. If you're afraid, that thing will eat you alive.

I agree.



Not that I'm some authority, but just to help the guy out.



I had the same problem with my Athlon T-Bird 1ghz a few years back...had to get a Tt fan.
