For a while I have had a problem whereby Media Centre 12 use to hang if asked to browse whilst my external DVD drive was plugged in. I could normally shut down Media Centre with Task Manager and carry on.
Since the last update I get the BSoD immediately after Media Centre has loaded if the drive is plugged in.
I also get BSoD if I attempt to burn even if I wait until after Media Centre 12 has loaded before connecting the DVD drive.
No other programs seem to have any problem (including MC11).
Here is the system info (with USB drive not connected):
