Power failure with my Cd Drive

Windows XP Hardware >> Power failure with my Cd Drive Im no wizz kid at all with computers, so i need a little help if
anybody can.
When i place a disc into the drive it reads the disc and then the pc
restarts. I thought that my old disc drives were faulty but have the
same problem with my new one which is a LG gsa-4167b, Version dL13
Program version 1.01.0412.01

Windows XP562

Windows XP Hardware >> Power failure with my Cd Drive Could be a short in the power connection from the power supply to the CD
drive - did you use the same one for both? If so, try a different unused
connector.

I tried to change the power lead on the cd drive/same problem
I tried to uninstall the cd and then reinstall all drivers-same problem
I then unplugged the cd drive took out all the cables attached to the
device and put them back in same problem. I really don't know what to
do

If anyone has had a similar problem with a cd drive where you put in a
cd. It tries to read it and then the computer crashes and restarts. It
would be most helpful

Thankyou for your time everyone

Windows XP Hardware >> Power failure with my Cd Drive Perhaps you just need a new CD drive?
