does everything freeze or do you get BSOD? if BSOD, what's the error message.
is your ASPI layer installed & up to date?
have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling your burning software?

Uninstall and re-install your Recording Software and you should be good to go.

i've tried unstalling and reinstalling but it still freezes. there is no error message, just a the computer compleetely freezing, especially after it starts burning for at least 10 min. its a 4x burner.
thanks,

i've tried to use easy creator 5. pretty recent. yamaha has no drivers that it comes with either.

try using aspichk to check your ASPI layer is up to date & installed properly!
