I have a new build computer with all new parts. I built it on December 28 2006 and only had it working for 2 weeks before I started experiencing problems.
Build:
ANTEC SOLO Case (185)
ASUS P5N32 SLI-SE deluxe Motherboard, Bios 603 11/16/2006
Core 2 Duo 6400 LGA 775, 2.13 GHz, thermaltake blue orb II CPU fan
Corsair, Twin 2X 1024-6400c4 DDR SD RAM, 800 MHz at 4-4-4-12
Seasonic SS 600hm Active PFC F3 (600 Watt)
ATI-Radeon X1950 PRO 256MHz, driver:8.33.0.0
Western Digital WD5000KS-00MNB0 SATA Hard drive (500 Gig)
Generic Multicard reader 10 Slot reader
Lite-On CD ROM LTN-52S1S. SATA connection
Lite-On DVD RW SHM 165H6S with lightscribe. IDE connection
LG 20? LCD monitor
Windows XP Home
Here we go?
When my system is up and running it works great except when I want to load a CD program. When I insert the CD into either drive it starts to spin then the pointer on the screen goes to hourglass for a split second then the CD spins down and the entire computer is locked up frozen tight. The only way to fix it is to hit reset or main power switch. If I leave the disk in the drive, upon restart of the computer I can access it and load from it. This would be a fine workaround for the issue but I have programs that require multiple disk swaps and it freezes the system when the next disk is requested and inserted.
Things I?ve Tried?
Replaced the SATA cable and IDE cable. Also tried reversing the IDE cable to CD ROM. Jumper settings on IDE drive are set to master.
Tested Power supply on another computer.
Ran MEMTEST for 8 hours with no errors.
Updated ALL drivers from all vendors (no effect)
Updated all Windows patches (no effect)
Repaired Windows installation, reloaded all drivers as above (no effect)
Quick-format of C:\ Partition re-loaded Windows XP Home and all Drivers (no effect)
Low level format of C:\ partition Re-loaded windows XP hone and all drivers (no effect)
Suspected problems and actions:
I thought I cracked the MB when installing the stock CPU fan so I sent the board back and got a replacement from ASUS. (no effect)
I thought that the damage might have been to the CPU so I sent it back to Intel and they sent me a Brand new CPU. (no effect)
As a side note my Audio on the MB is only providing sound through the right channel speaker. May not have anything to do with this problem but thought I should let you know everything.
HELP me before I teach this computer the law of gravity!!!!
