    All cds and dvd's havent got any cdroms to hand to try. From what i can gather using task manger something is causing 100% cpu usage when disk inserted. No strange noise from dvd drive. Tried reinstalling the dvd drive drivers.
  • Uninstall cd/dvd recording software and try and update drivers.
    Take a look in the event viewer and see if that gives any clues.
