I have exactly the same problem, for the same reason. I found that updating
the Sony USB driver cured the rebooting problem but I still get a creash when
I insert a CD or DVD with data on it. CD drive is OK with an actial programme
to install, but directly I put a video DVD in, for example, to upload from my
camera, it crashes.
If you get a solution I would be grateful if you would pass it on.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated
