That's just the beginning of what needs to be told. There are a bazillion reasons for such a crash such as outdated BIOS, motherboard, video, audio, and other drivers. Bad RAM, overheating CPU or other parts.
But you didn't write a word about the machine so I can only be vague.

I have a Plextor760A combo drive. It can read and write cd and dvd's which it does ok, however, it can not play a DVD. I have tried several different programs, from Media Player, Sonic Cine Player and others...the dvd's do not play. The progtams just crash when there is a dvd in the 760A, suggestions please. Thanks.
