Well yesterday I uninstalled my Plextor 716A writer, then re-installed it.

I was able to put an original copy of American Gangster in and it started playing without any problem.

Then after I ejected the movie & put a blank dvd(verbatim) it starting doing the same thing again. It would just keep restarting my PC a few times & then completely shut my PC down.

Should I look into getting another DVD writer ? Maybe it's the writer that is bad ? I bought this one about 4 years ago from Newegg.com. What's a descent brand, not too expensive ? I was looking at getting a LiteOn brand since my DVD rom on my PC is a LiteOn & have been happy w/ it.

I would like to get one that will also be able to write DL as well, like my previuos one did, or does just depend on the backup software used ?

The burner has to be able to write DL, but you also need the software to be able to write DL
