Yeah I like to change my hardware a lot, after all, when you make your
computer yourself, you rather change something than buy a new computer.
well i'ma try changing of CD-ROM drive, but i dont see why my problem
would disappear, since my problems with my Samsung as the same as with
my former Plextor (in worse indeed). there is on thing written on
CD-ROM drive for the jumper and it's this :

C S M
S L A

and my jumper is on M and A. i guess it means Master

wow, wait, how can you have a 55 F CPU?? 55 F it's 12°C. you put ur
CPU in a fridge or you meant C instead of F? anyways, my CPU is always
runnin at 100% because i use Folding@Home, and thus my CPU reaches
55°C when it's hott in my room, and right now it is 53°C. so yeah, no
need to do any stress test cuz my CPU is always runnin at 100% due to
that distributed computing thing so there's no problem.

Now, with all the things i changed inside my computer, CPU,
motherboard, RAM, CD-ROM drive, power supply, i really dont see how
that problem could persist (even if before i could read CD's without
any problem). makes me suspect my power supply and my CD-ROM drive, but
hey, back two years ago, that's exactly what i suspected first, ic
hanged my power supply (later it failed so now im still using the first
one) and the problem was still there and i changed my burner and even a
new problem appeared.

i'm runnin out of theories to explain my problem, but tomorrow ill
exchange ym CD-ROM drives with another computer and see what happens
for each computer... thanks for carring
