When trying to write to DVD or BD often the hard drive light will come on steady (with NO actual HD activity) and the DVD activity light on the drive will blink slowly.
But that process? is hung up. It goes on forever. I can not open the DVD door, can't kill the burning program, or any related related processes in task manager. Other programs at that time CAN be opened, run without a problem. But the DVD writer program window is stuck in limbo. The only way to get rid of the "stuck" process is to reboot the computer after which everything works normal again.
This happens intermittently and about 50 percent of the time. (I've been living with it for about three months now while trying to find the problem)
Tried three different burners (Plextor, Samsung, and Lite-On) All new.
Tried several CD-DVD-BD burning programs.
Happens with simple CD DVD or Blu-Ray copying .. as well as with various ripping software.
After I force a shut down and open the DVD drive the unwritten disc is still empty and was never written to.
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. 8 GB Ram ASUS M3N78-VM Main board
C: OCZ SSD
D: SATA program and scratch disk 500 GB
E: 500 GB archive / temp disk
Currently using Liteon iHBS212-08
Tried Plextor PX-LB950SA and others
No malware, viruses etc. System passes all diagnostics etc.
Note: It will hang up even when trying to do a simple CD copy. Also happens with Verbatim discs (CD DVD BD25) as well as many other brands.
I've never had a problem with any of the DVD burners I've had .. just the Blu-ray burners. I've even pulled the BD burner and re-installed a old LG DVD only burner and it works fine.
I'm puzzled .. and out of ideas.
