I built a computer with a soyo m/b, Pentium III 667 MHz, 128 MB 133 Mhz RAM, ATI Rage Fury Maxx AGP video card and a RDR DVD-ROM drive. The system rebooted a lot at first so I assumed the drivers should be updated and I did that and now the computer reboots randomly and less often but it seems that it only happens when using the DVD drive (not necissarily for DVDs) or immediately after operating the drive. What should I do?

IF win9x -> drivers for the motherboard, drivers for the devices, BIOS settings for cpu and memory, or bad memory.

IF NT4 -> see win9x above, except if NT is set to automatically restart on errors, in which case, look in the event viewer, (all three modes), and post more info in this thread.

IF winME -> see win9x above.

IF NT5 -> see NT4 above ...

I have all the drivers installed and updated for everything even the m/b. sorry I didn't mention I'm running Windows 98. I have the latest Bios revision and the power supply and the m/b have been replaced once already to check.
