    Hi Calvin,

    I think your problem is overheating is causing your laptop turn off. DVD playback generally uses a good amount of CPU, and I suspect that it's causing overheating. A sismilar situation would arise when you try to install from the installation CD. In this case, the laptop uses a lot of CPU/HDD/CD and even once will result in overheating.

    Make sure that the cooling system is free of dust and debris and that there is a sufficient air flow and cooling through the laptop.

    Also, make sure you have power for maximum performance management settings.

    Kind regards

    I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do?   What problem is it?

    Hello

    1. what file format you are trying to burn?

    2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

    If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

    Here are a few things to try:

    1. make sure that the disc is clean.

    2. try a different brand of blank discs.

    3. stop all other programs that are running.

    4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

    a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

    (b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.

    c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

    Method 2:

    Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.

    Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-settings-for-burning-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player

    Method 3:

    If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

    Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

    Method 4:

    Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
