hi all, I was wondering if somebody could help me with my problem... I got a brand new custom gaming computer from ibuypower.com and I don't know why but within a month I'd say the DVD-RW rom drive has been acting strange it reads little to few CD's or I'm not sure if it can read DVD's anymore, all my burn processes fail. When I put the DVD windows recovery CD in the drive has a clicking sound along with a buzzing sound, almost sounds like a fly is caught inside my drive to put it in details. It's really bothering me, I don't know if some how some important system data was changed from a virus, or I might've changed something I don't know. But if anyone knows any ways of diagnosing the problem and how to fix this would be wonderful! Thank you very much!

-Steve

It's definately not driver based, you must have just got a defective DVD Drive. Tell the people you bought it from and ask for a replacement, see if the problem continues.
