Major lag when accesing the DVD drive

[ghost recon88]

Whenever I pop a CD or DVD into my DVD drive, my computer always hangs for a couple seconds. If I'm watching a movie or whatever, it will freeze and all the Windows on my screen lock up. My DVD drive is a SATA drive. Do I have to install some SATA drivers or what? I have the normal Intel chipset drivers installed.

See if it has a newer firmware.

It happens to me also, though I don't think its the MB due to the fact that it only does it when the disk is very dirty/scratched.

Bump your ICH Core voltage, there are 2 of these settings through the bios that defaults to 1.5v/1.1v. Adjust them a tiny bit and try to reproduce the problem.

Well if you think the drive is defective can you test it in another system?

It has the latest firmware on it, it's an Asus DRW-2014L1T.

I've noticed that too, that dirty/scratched disks cause lockups. It does tend to only happen when the disk isn't the cleanest.

Increasing your NB voltage won't kill the lag from a DVD drive 😛

ICH Core Voltage (1.1v default) = Southbridge
MCH Core Voltage (1.1v default) = Northbridge

Ghost, you need to drop your oc by about 400-600mhz so you don't risk slowing down you sata dvd drive 🙂 j/k m8

GR, Do me a favor and launch everest and go to the sensor tab. Run P95 for a min or 2 with small fft and tell me what the power draw of your Q9 at 4.25Ghz. I want to push my Q6600@3.7 but it starts to get a bit toasty. IIRC 170w-180w load using everest.


Thanks,
