The symptoms describe a hardware fault with/without an
application that is non-responding, or vice versa. Difficult
to ascertain whether or not the DVD player is having problems
reading the DVD disc or if the DVD-reader/viewer app is hanging
due to mis-reading of the DVD disc. On IDE2, make the DVD writer
the Master and the CD reader, the Slave and test. Just a "voodoo"
solution that might work.

Actually my DVD is master and my CD slave.
right now i am totallay at a loss. just for the sake of it i tries to burn a
CD with the DVD writer. to my surprise it actually worked. however after
burning i entered a written cd in dvd player and the system froze again.
after turning off the power and going through the routine of the blue screen
the system flashed up. i entered a empty DVD in the writer and it asked for
additional service: what do you want to do so i started Nero startsmart and
no errors occurred. i then inserted a used dvd and it showed the contents.
same with a written CD. this trial and error is driving me up the wall!!!
i hope somone out there recognizes my problems and has an answer to solve
this.

Those DVD's that are making the system freeze were they written with another DVD writer by any chance.?
This can occur when DVD,s written on another system or with another DVD write program were not finalized properly to read from any DVD-Rom

Yes they were written by my earlier DVD writer and others. the event occurs
also with original DVDs such as program DVDs. The event occurred also when my
earlier DVD was still installed in my PC.
