I'm also having bug checks/blue screens precipitated by Nero 6, and I have not and do not have INCD installed, nor anything from Roxio or other ripping or burning software on board. I've even been able to get Nero to instigate a blue screen from safe mode! The pattern of the stop messages suggests a driver conflict. My 8-month-old desktop is plenty capable w/1 GB Ram, a raid 0 volume for primary drive and a seperate back up hard drive, and 3.2 Ghz P4 processor. I've had Nero about 4 months and the problem started with infrequent bug checks while editing a wav file or other audio editing. To date I've not had a problem while actually ripping or burning a CD.
I can now elicit a bug check by opening and closing modules 4 or 5 times. Sometimes I don't get a bug check until I am closing windows, as mentioned by Krusher. On a seemingly unrelated issue which seguewayed to the Nero blue screens, I ended up working for 6 hours (!) with a terrific Microsoft tech support person who helped me painstakingly check for conflicting drivers but we never conclusively identifed anything. That's when we tried opening and closing Nero in Safe Mode and elicited a blue screen! I've also tested my RAM with memtest (nothing found), as well as by removing one of the two RAM modules to see if one of them was deficient. I could blue screen in either isolated module. For another reason, this past week I ended up zeroing my raid and installing windows xp home from scratch and downloaded all the sp1 critical updates. I also updated my BIOs, video and audio card driver. I did not load other programs aside from my antivirus, which I temporarily disable when running Nero. Yup...still can blue screen with Nero.
Last night I carefully completed the support form on Nero's site and included the bug check stop codes and their parameters, and I dutifully attached the dump file from the Nero Info Tool. Sure do hope they can pull a rabbit out the hat b/c I'm stumped. I'm holding off on other software loading until I can try to work through this with Nero support. (I've got my fingers crossed and hope they are more proactive than sending canned messages or just giving up...)
