Hello - I'm new here and hoping that someone can help me out.
I've just built a new system, and almost everything is up and running. The only hold out is my DVD burner, a Lite-On DVDRW SHM-165H6S. Here is the problem:
Whenever I go to burn a CD or DVD, the system will mysteriously turn itself off. Other than this, the drive works fine. BIOS and Windows recognize it, and I can play CDs or other discs on it. However, about 5 seconds into the burning process, the computer turns off. As a side note, once I restart, if I go to the CD I was burning, I have about 20 seconds of music, and then it goes silent.
This error has occured in both Nero Express 6.6.1.4 (the latest Update for version 6) and the latest iTunes.
So far I have tried:
Setting Windows to not power down on an error.
Installing System ASPI Drivers
Searching for new drivers for the DVD burner. However, Lite-On didn't seem to offer any driver updates.
I've been searching some other forums, but they have not helped. Many seem to suggest that a weak power supply is to blame, but I don't think that is the case with me (system specs below). Also, I don't think my CPU or system is getting too hot (and thus forcing a restart). I've been monitoring it until the crash and it hangs out in the 20 C range. Also, I've been running Oblivion for hours at a time on the highest graphics settings and had no problem.
Any ideas? I'm hoping this is a software/driver thing, but I'm not sure since the drive does read fine. One last note - I have my regular DVD reader drive on Master and the burner on Slave.
System specs -
AMD 4200 X2 Dual Core (AM2)
MSI K9N Platinum 570 motherboard
eVGA GeForce 7900 GT KO
SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615 (MASTER, reader only)
LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S (SLAVE, writer)
Antec TRUPOWERII 550w PSU
