[eshaan]

I bought a new moserbaer DVD Writer yesterday .The problem is when i try to read from the DVD drive, my PC starts to restart. Same is the case if i try to write something .Either the PC goes to a hang state or restarts.
Please help

Guys please help me out on this . I checked it on another computer and the drive is working fine. So what could be the issue on my computer ?

its your PSU most prob....

get the other comps power supply to your comp and test....

maybe psu is unable to properly power it. whats your rig specs?

edit: use @thetechmind's suggestion.

I don't think that my psu could be the problem, because i've tried my friend's LG DVD writer on my comp and it is working fine. No restarting, no problem in functioning.

But strangely when I connect my Moserbaer DVD Drive it starts restarting.

I've tried changing my SATA ports as well but no change ,still restarting.

My specs are :

Coolermaster PSU 450W , AMD Athlon X2 3800+, ASUS A8N-VM, 2GB DDR RAM, 7600GT.

You have a good enough PSU for your rig
Since you tested with another DVD writer, which works fine, most probably the writer has gone kaput

Take it to the dealer immediately, he will replace it (since u bought only yesterday)
and get better ones like LG/Samsung, if u can

^^ dude the op has mentioned that he has tested his drive on a friends comp and itz workin fine there so i dont think the drive has gone kaput.... this is a strange problem..

So this is the situation....

1- your dvd drive on ur comp - doesnt work

2- your dvd drive on other comp - works

3- other dvd drive on ur comp - works

4- psu - works

try this....

-reset the bios to factory defaults

-reset ram chips (i know the other dvd works)

Is your HDD - IDE / SATA ?

If HDD = SATA, connect your DVD in the slot where the hdd is connected. \

-Source out a IDE DVD drive from friend / neighbours and test that on your rig.

Try using a different connector pin from the PSU to the DVD. Looks like a power fault most probably.

Are you using the SATA power connection from your PSU or is it a Molex connection with a Molex to SATA converter cable?

If it is with the converter, make sure you are using the converter cable that must have come with the DVD drive.
