Bizzarre pc fault

[Felix]

Hi i have a pc that burned a dvd once now it wont work, I have replaced the motherboard, cpu, memory, and burners (several of)
It gets to 99% of copying disk then the software just closes and returns to windows. I have tried the burner in another pc and it works fine there too. I have also gone from dvdxcopy to nero and nothing burns dvd's at all. Cd burning is ok, just not dvds on any burner i put in there. It has the latest firmware on all drives i put in, the bios is uptodate and now i am lost. I have formated windows and reloaded with base drivers and without base drivers for WindowsXp home and pro! Can someone help me?

Hi and welcome to the forum, Felix!

Checked your DMA settings? http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=44808

You might also want to check if your system is overheating...

[Felix]

Yep i have already done that its set to 5 on both primary and secondary channels. still no go

You are saying that you have replaced the motherboard, cpu and memory. Sounds as an upgrade on an old computer. Did you use your old hard disk with an already installed Windows version on or did you reinstall Windows on a new empty hard disk after the switch (motherboard, CPU)?

[Felix]

yes i have replaced every (EVERY ) single componant in the pc and rebuilt it everytime i replaced the parts. Its not an upgrade, just replaced the gigagcrap board with an asus and replaced their 20gb with a 40gb hdd and i repartitioned it and reformatted everytime.

Seems we have the same feelings about GigaByte and Asus.

Welcome to the ASUS club.

The drivers for the motherboard are also updated?

Your burner is it an external or internal one?

Could try to burn an ISO file with DVD Decrypter just to rule out your burning software.

Using good branded discs?

Your power supply - is that powerful enough?

[Felix]

It is an internal ricoh burner
latest bios revision for the motherboard and drivers / Intel INF updates
Burning anysort of dvd will not work
and it has a 500watt atx psu in it

[cynthia]

You don't have any Intel accelerator (or what it's called) that could disturb the burning running?

Do you have/Do you need to have DirectX installed?

[Felix]

service pack 2 has directx9 in it and there is nothing at all installed.. no programs at all
just drivers... hell i even tried with no drivers for motherboard etc
ive even tried Xphome Xphome Sp1 XPHome sp2 installs, Xp pro xp prosp1 xp prosp2 installs... i really have run outta ideas

[cynthia]

The jumpers back on the burner are right set?
The burner is not connected to a RAID?

[Felix]

yes all is set right and no its not connected to a raid

[cynthia]

Done a memory test?

[Felix]

replaced the memory with 512mb matched pair
