Before I talk about the problem here is the set up
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (no OC)
Chaintech nForce 4 MB
2x 512MB PC3200
Plextor DVD burner IDE
Lite-On 52x CD Burner IDE
Western Digital 300GB SATA HDD
now to the problem
About a week ago, my computer stopped recognizing my CD burner. I was lazy to get down and check it out.
When I opened my computer today and checked the cables and all, it seemed fine.
I doubled checked, making sure all the cables were in places and closed my computer.
When I turned back on, CD-RW was recognized but I noticed a 'lag'.
The 'lag' was happening every other second.
so, one second for smooth operation and there would be a lag.
another one second of smooth operation and then lag...
I turned my computer off, and opened it up again.
Turned it back on and listened.
I noticed a quiet high pitch 'jittery'?? sound that is synced with the lag on the computer.
I could not figure out where the sound was coming from.
Right now, my CD-RW is connected but NOT recognized and the lag is GONE.
What would be the problem?
Mobo? IDE CDRW? or my stupidity?
