Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. What software are you using to play the dvds? PowerDVD? Windows Media Player? Just curious, will the drive play an audio cd without the "jumpy" syndrome you describe? You could check for a firmware update for the drive, but since you said this is a "new" computer, you may want to start with the manufacturer's tech support since it should be under warranty.
