My DVD drive has been acting up lately. Whenever i put a disc in (it can be anything, a blank DVD, a movie, a cd album etc) after about a minute or so the computer keeps locking up, then carrys on again, and then locks up again, and it keeps locking up/starting back as long as the disc is in the drive. I'm not quite sure what could be the problem, trouble is I don't have any spare systems or IDE cables etc. so I can't really determine the problem.

Ok, well what you can try is cleaning your laser.

Originally posted by Ripper:

1) Get a cotton bud thing and dip one end in some rubbing alcohol.
2) Now, rub the laser for 10 seconds in little circles for 10 seconds.
3) Take the dry end and rub the laser, again, in little circles for 10 secs. Make sure no residue is left on the laser.
4) Try to read a disk.
If that fails, then I'd say disconnect your drive and blow any dust out of the IDE controllers/cables. Make sure there's no obvious blemishes, e.g, cuts in cable etc. You can try a new IDe cable, if that fails, they're not v expensive.

Have you tried different media too?
