Hi.

My homebuilt PC has been working great for about 6 months but recently the
PC is crashing when I insert some CD-Roms. It doesn't happen all the time
but when it does once the CD is recognized the computer freezes and I have
to do a hard reboot using the power button in the back.

I'm running Windows XP Pro, P4 2.4, 1gig memory. My CD-Rom drive is a TDK
but I also have a Sony DVD-RW that also froze my PC. I checked out the
device manager and there is just one question mark under RAID controller.
Any ideas???

Thanks.
T

burned disks? Your ROM's laser may be going or can't read burned CD's
very well

I think the problem is worse than that.
