Macbook crashes due to CD developed on it

[GarySober]

I am having Microsoft XP 2000 operating system installed on my Macbook. The problem I have come across with my Macbook is that whenever I create any CD on my Macbook it freezes my desktop immediately. A number of pop up window appear saying that Bad pool error with a blue screen and I have to restart. It will not display a message saying that the disk is still in the tray. Macbook reads the disk, does the diagnosis and then burns but still my Macbook freezes.

Go through all the applications that are installed on your Macbook because these application programs have many files installed on it. If any application might have not been installed properly or is not compatible with the hardware resolution of the Macbook then there is a possibility that your Macbook will start malfunctions. If you have downloaded applications from unwanted sites re-install that application and install it from company’s websites.

Many problems associated with Macbook are solved by doing PRAM reset. There might be some wrong entries in your RAM system. So the RAM gets blocked with all of these fake entries then it will not be able to access the system RAM. To avoid this you should delete these invalid entries. For this perform PRAM reset. The steps are :

• Specify the keys (r, p, apple and option).
• Press these keys while booting.
• Till three beeps are heard press this buttons.
• Release all keys after third beep.
• Now the system booting should continue.
