I've been using Nero 7 without problem for a good while but about 3 weeks ago it started rebooting the PC at 5% during burn. I've made sure I have disc space (45 gigs), defragged, shut down everything I could. If I force the PC into Safe Mode it will work but 1 dvd5 takes almost 4 hours to burn. I've even replaced the burner. Any ideas?
The only time I had this symptom, while using Nero Vision, the case was dust buid-up, and a fan that broke; it was rebooting because was overheating.
I thought of that and clean out the PC. But I don't think it's heat because It always fail right at the start no matter if the PC has been on for days or just booted. And I get no other problems. Plus during the 3+ hour burn in safe mode the build up should have killed it as well. Add in the fact that I can be runnong for days with out any problems but anytime I try to burn with nero it reboots. It also read and plays DVDs fine. I haven't installed anything in months so I am stumped It hasn't even updated the burn log since the last boot free burn in early Dec.
sounds like your drives in PIO mode it needs to be in DMA mode you can fix that in device manager by uninstalling the IDE controllers rebooting and let windows reinstall them correctly or use this guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 as far as nero i would do a clean reinstall. first uninstall nero run the nero clean tool use ccleaner,defrag etc. reboot and reinstall version 7.8.5.0 or up http://filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?2384
If the overheating is not an issue, ZoSoIV is right. In this case, you have to watch it closely. XP switces to PIO mode after repeated CRC errors. If it happens again, you have to trace the root of your problem.
