Hi Tim,
I don't see much terribly wrong with your computer. Make sure you do regular maintenance on it especially cleaning the hard drive of junk files and defragging it frequently. Make sure it is up to date. Since it is a laptop, check HP to see if there are any updates that should be installed.
Have you tried burning the project to a folder? If you can make the folder, you can use something like the free IsoBurn to burn the folder to a disc.
If the program crashes while making the folder, then there may be something in your project that the program can't handle.
I recently tried a high definition project and selected to make a folder and burn to a disc at the same time. The folder was made properly but the disc could not be read. I used a different program to burn the folder to a disc.
Let us know if the folder set works.
