Summary: There are a few things to check out if your computer freezes when you insert a CD or DVD into your DVD ROM.
When I insert a CD or DVD into my DVD ROM the computer freezes. What should I do?
I's suspect the device drivers for the DVD drive, myself.
You didn't mention which version of Windows. Assuming it's XP, I'd do the following:
•
run the system file checker.
visit windows update paying particular attention to any device driver updates.
consider visiting your computer manufacturer's web site and look for updates.
consider visiting the DVD drive manufacturer's web site and looking for updates.

I have a similar problem, whenever I insert a CD, Original/HomeBrew, Windows 2K freezes, but it's a 52X LG CD-ROM, so there's no Nero Installed, Anyway, if I let the CD on the drive, after restart, I can read the CD like a charm, but if I try to change it, Windows freezes again. It wont happend if I start in Safe Mode, but, Who want's to live in safe mode???
The 52x LG is just fine, I puted it in another computer and it works great, so, It should be a Software problem. I've tryed changing PIO/DMA Modes, but the problem persists...
Any suggestion???

Device manager>IDE channel>properties>advanced>
transfer mode select to DMA

This problem is caused by conflict of DVD Drive ID, to solve it Change the DVD drive to Primary

Posted by: JOHANN DOHMANN at January 30, 2008 4:54 PMthanks leo and engineer i've been having this problem forat least 2 years! And then i realised that i've got the nero package with the incd program. So far so good . It is a seperate program called 'ahead INCD' or similar name. Simply go to control panel then add/remove programs and then uninstall.

Posted by: howard farmer at November 9, 2008 4:23 AMMy CD drive is SATA and I just changed my hard SATA hard drive to IDE. Could this be the reason my screen goes horizontal and machine freezes when I try to use my cd drive? Never had this problem before the IDE.
Posted by: Salawiz at April 4, 2009 11:45 AMI just got the same problem. I already check the transfer mode and it is already set to DMA.
Posted by: mblue at June 23, 2009 7:39 AMI also did update on the computer but Im still getting the same problem. What I've notice is there are 2 Primary and 2 Secondary IDE Channel showing up. Any suggestions?
