Comp Slow Down with CD's.

[SuperSide]

This post in related to my below post. My diagnosis was wrong with what was causing me all those problems before. It seems it wasn't nero, or DirectX, that was causing me all that trouble. It was my DVD drive. For whatever reason whenever I insert a blank CD into the disk drive it slows my computer down to a crawl. This only happens with CD's, when I insert a blank DVD or a DVD movie, it runs fine.

Is there any reason why a blank CD should cause my computer to slow down to such an extreme extent.

I'm not sure how old your drive is, but try flashing it with its latest firmware. My system would hang when I tried to burn (I bought Nero thinking it was the built-in Windows burner), but after flashing the drive (Plextor PX-755A) everything works fine!
