Cdrom Problem

[Ertay]

When i play any game the game will stop for 1 second and it will continue again.After 3-10 min it will stop again and continue.But when the game stops the cdrom's light starts flashing.

MY COMPUTER SPECS ARE:
AMD Athlon XP +2800
512mb RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 56.72 drivers
Onboard Realtek AC'97 Sound driver
Soltek SL75PRN2-L with nForce 2 chipset
CDrom Teac 540 E


Sorry for my English
Thanks in advance

sounds like DMA might be disabled

I can play some games without CD and they are stopping same.


And I can't find where to enable DMA.

This should help.

• Enabling DMA Mode

Assuming you run Windows Xp Go to Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/
Hit the + next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers double click on your primary or secondary IDE Channel(do both, one after the other), go to Advanced Settings tab, under transfer mode select "DMA if available" for both device 0 and device 1

Nothing a little search can't find.

Thanks for the help but Transfer Mode was "DMA IF AVAILABLE"
It's something else I can't figure it out.
I disabled my CD-ROM and the games are running perfectly.

Is your system running a little hot? It sounds like it is being glitchy because the vid card could be getting too hot and wanting to lock up. At least it's something to look at.

Nope my system isn't running hot.Now I changed my CD-ROM and there isn't any problem.

Thanks everyone
