cant understand why this keeps doing this when im burning a film or playstation 2 backup the whole pc locks up my dvd burner is a dvr106 x4 and have tried loads of media and it still does this thnx in advance
Burning dvd's uses most of your computer resources. You could possibly be having an overheat problem. If you can remove a side panel or case from the PC and aim a small fan at the processor, then try to burn again. If it works all the way you need more cooling inside. If that doesn't help we can try something else. Jerry
Make sure you are not multi-tasking or surfing the web either. That may be too much for your computer to handle. Jerry
the pc is well cooled but the drive is also having problems reading data now aswell my pc spec is 2800amd xp gigabyte nforce pro 2 motherboard 512 ram could the burner just be scrap and this is the problem.also i get write errors when using alcahol
