Im having a major issue where my pc shuts down during burning, this is very odd cause in my old and slower pc it worked fine, ive updated the firmware for it, and just cant find a solution, if anyone can help that would be great.

System specs: MSI k9n SLI motherboard with cool and quite technology, Amd athlon duel core 5000 at 2600, 2 gigs duel channel ddr2 800mhz, nvidia gforce 5800 128mb PCI-E vid card, 500 watt xfinity sli ready power supply, 320 gig sata drive, and the burner is a sony dvdrw model number dru-720.

Like i said any help would be awsome.

Your post is not clear. Hence my quiz: Did the burner work OK before you applied the firmware. If so the likely culprit is that the firmware itself is wrecking havoc on your PC whenever you burn something.

IMO, firmware should NOT be messed with unless there is an absolute need.

Shutting down is most likely caused by an overheating CPU...or possibly an overburdened power supply.

When you say "shuts down" do you mean it powers right off or goes into standby?

Burning, especially burning a DVD, places a larger load on your system than many other things do, and your system draws more current from your PS while burning. If your PS has inadequate capacity or is faulty, that extra load can cause the system to black screen and reboot.
My brother has an Antec PS that did that.
I tried another PS with his system and found he no longer had the problem.
Failing or defective power supplies are common and can cause your symptoms.
Check your PS.
