HI,
Anyone got any ideas.....
Went to play a music cd in my PC (not played one in there in a while) and as soon as it started to read, up came the blue screen of death! and it went
through saving info then rebooted showing me the windows disk check.
PC will read data cd's no problem???
Running windows 2000.

What cd was it?
Some music companies (sony for one) did go through a phase of putting horrible things on their cds so they wouldnt play in computers, and it often
resulted in a BSOD...

Tried 2 cd's one was a CDR and other was the Metallica Black album. Nothing recent.
Have had no problems in the past with Music CD's.
CD Drive - Aopen CDRW.

no idea sorry but good choice with 'tallica 
Have you got a tick box ticked in the "Properties" of your cd rom drive called "Digital Audio" or similar, if you have try
unticking it and using analogue.
Right click My Computer, choose properties, choose device manager, expand cd drives, right click on you particular cd drive and choose properties, go
to the properties tab and see if you have a tick box for digital hardware.
These are instructions for xp but I think it's the same.
What does the blue screen say right at the top, normally the first line can give us a clue.
Maybe try uninstalling Window media player or whatever was your default player and reinstall.
Hope this helps
Rich

Yep, bring on the Metallica (only the older stuff though... )
Post up the error code and I will attempt to find out what it is for you.
