CDROM drive causing windows to go to blue screen

My setup has worked for 2 years now, but one day (well, a week ago), during loading of windows (2000), it goes to the blue screen that says KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED.

After debugging it for a while, it seems that this only happens when I plug in my CDROM drives (either one of them... I have 1 burner and 1 DVD drive).

I've tried plugging in one of my drive to my primary IDE where my harddrives are, but same thing happens.



Is my motherboard fried?


Thanks for any help....
 
Kmode exceptions can be alot of things, usually driver related. What was the reason for the format? Were other problems going on? You might want to consider running memtest to check your memory (or try one stick at a time) and give your hard drive a full diagnostic test using the tools from the manuf.

i don't quite think it's the memory. I've tried one stick at a time on both of mine and problem persists.
i'll try scanning them anyway.
Thanks for the advice
