HELP!! after installing a burner my computer keeps shutting down at start up and I have to image on my monitor
???
 
When you installed you burner, did you install it into the primary of secondary IDE Slot? It may be trying to boot from the CDRW, it happened to me a long time ago. Switch the CDRW's and hard drive's cables. If they are connected on the same cable, that may be a problem, too. Try to keep the hard drives and removable storage drives separate, I personally find that you'll have less problems this way. Write back to tell me how it goes.
