Hi there,
since i have build my machine in ferbruary this year, i suffer from a random freezing issue just after the CD's will be scanned
either in drive E: (DVD-R) or F: (DVD-RW) --> specs see below.
I have to push the reset button to restart the machine.

The pc does not freezzing all the time just now and then. It is also not reduced to just audio CD's it happens also
on data,-game and RW CD's same often on both drives!

There are always the same tasks running in the background and i have the IMAPI task (Windows XP internal CD burning programm) disabled.
I also configured Auto-Play for:
1. Audio CD's to Windows Mediaplayer 9
2. DVD's to PowerDVD XP 4.0
everyting else is set to "NO ACTION"

The only thing i can think of is a RAM issue. I run my RAM sticks with the default settings. Is there someting i could try on the RAM settings?

Any help or suggestion are highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Christian
