Hi i have a sony pcv-rz422p and although it is a good system the thing seems to crash every time i put a cd in the drives! My dad brought me Doom3 the other day and when i wanna install it the pc crashes! Does any one know how i can fix this problem? if you do please can you reply, thank you.

Try turning off auto start on the drives.

are you trying to install / play it using the dvd-rom drive

i had a game called kingpin that would only run using the dvdrw drive as it is faster

i dont know if this is the case but you could try it

im trying to install using either the dvdr/rw or dvdrom, but every time i put a cd in the system crashs

Kee-Lo thanks for the link but i didnt have much joy, is there any thing else i can do?

does your computer just stop dead when you insert the disk ???????

if so you have the same problem as the dw-u12a drive which is installed in rs series

it tends to get a bad block everynow again next time it happens restart the pc then look at your logs it will tell you want went on

have you updated your firmware ??????????? if there is one

i know there is one for my desktop but you have he rz series so i dont know,
