Well I just got a new Sony DVD writer ... I plugged it into my PC .... I wrote a DVD and after that it failed ...
Failed as in ... it DOES write DVDs but u can't read those DVD's afterwards ... But I am not here to ask about the DVD writer ... I am pretty sure that there is something in my PC which has killed the drive. Because previously .... Another ASUS DVD writer I had lasted only 1 week before I had the same troubles with it !
What can be so wrong in my system that it somehow makes a DVD writer die ?
some things to notice are ....
1) I didn't get this problem until the day I attached an Ati X1600 Pro card on my PC
2) I have a 400W SMPS Frontech. Do I need a more powerful SMPS ? I calculated the wattage requirements of my PC from HERE and it came out to be 340 W something.
What is supposedly wrong here ? I don't want to ruin another DVD writer now ... Plus I have to write over 100 GB of data ... I really need some help regarding this issue. All the DVD writes I attached to this PC had the same problem. They can write DVD's but give error on reading. Sometimes they can't write at all and Nero gives Power Calibration error.
This time I took my writer to another PC and there it failed too .... What should I do ?
