My Plextor started burning coasters.

[ArsPolitica]

I have a Plextor 12/10/32a that has been working great for about a year. I'm using the same cdr's I always have, and Nero 5.5.4.0. I'm running Win XP Final.

Everything has been running smoothly, but now I've been getting fixation errors. The CD gets to a 100%, but it never closes. The cd's actually seem to work, but I don't like the fact that I'm getting error messages. Here's information from the log:

Any ideas?

try using another burning proggy...like cdrwin...try reducing your burn speed to 1x to see if u still have this issue
