DVD Rom problems I am experiencing problems with DVD playback, the DVD player will play video & audio for a few seconds, then it runs in slow motion in jerky movements, or stops altogether and then it restarts again. Basically stop and go situation. The problem just started a couple days ago, I had no problem before. I have no problem playing CD's. I have performed every possible test and diagnostic service that Dell provided on my computer, but to no avail. I know it's not the playback software that I am using (PowerDVD loaded by Dell) as the same problem occurs when I am using the MS Media Player or Real Player. The DVD ROM that Dell installed on my computer is Samsung SD-616T. Unfortunately my warranty has expired so I cannot get any help from Dell. Can anyone help? Please? Thanks in advance. Paul
I dont know if its the same thing but my computer kept shuting down when I tried to burn or watch dvds but I could do cds like you.Mine is a laptop less than 12 months old.It ended up being the CPU fans,they had to be replaced I think I overworked it!
