BASICS: I have a new LG GSA-5163D external DVD/CD burner and I'm running Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.15 while trying to burn a data DVD. I'm using SONY DVD+R disks.
PROBLEM: Consistently, when burning a DVD the process begins perfectly and progresses until anywhere from 20% - 60%. Then, the hard drive stops reading, the progress bar stops moving forward (ie. the percentage of completion stops increasing), but no errors come up in Nero and, in fact, the timer continues keeping the time without stopping. That is, Nero does not hang, and yet no more burning is taking place. The burner's light continues blinking as it had been doing. I'm forced at this point to physically turn off the power of the burner (this is the only way...I can't stop the burning process from Nero). At that point, of course, all types of errors pop up in Nero, as would be expected. I'm including a log of one of these instances below, though I won't include the "errors" at the bottom as they are the result of my turning off the burner, not indications of the real problem. Interestingly, this same exact problem happens when I try to burn CD's (ie. not DVD's) at speeds higher than 8X.
I'VE TRIED: Despite my newbie status, I've read through posts here for a couple of weeks and haven't found any solutions. I've loaded in the ASPI driver, I've uninstalled (using the clean tool) and reinstalled Nero (using the driver cleaner and registry checker). I've disable Windows' burning on all drives. Suspecting the hard drive was reading too slowly, I did a "determine maximum speed" test before another burn and it said the hard drive was reading at 7.9X (I'm only burning at 4X). I know media is the cause of most problems, but I believed that SONY media were of good quality? I also have tried shutting down all non-essential processes before, including virus scan.
Here is the log:

At this point, the burn goes perfectly for about 4 minutes, then the problem occurs. I turn the burner off, lots of errors are logged, etc. Here is the bottomf of the log, after the errors caused by turning off the burner.
