Unable to burn DVD --> Power calibration error?

Nope, media is the same as the ones I used before when everything worked fine, same with the firmware. The only thing that has changed in the meantime is that I got a new graphics-card....which I imagine wouldn't be hogging the power supply...would it?

I had a Lite-On dvd burner once that started doing that.... afaik it normally means the laser is b0rked. i returned it for a replacement and that worked (and still does) just fine and dandy.

He might be right and it is the drive but just checking, what is your power supply brand and wattage and what graphics card did you get?

Hello all,

Sorry for not replying sooner.

Found out what the power supply is, it's a Sparkle 300Watt SPU.
And I used to have a ATI 9800SE All-in-Wonder, but upgraded to a ATI X800XL.

I've downloaded a new DVD burning program to see if that makes any difference. I'll tell you ASAP if it does.

YEAH BABY!

This other program that I'm using works a lot better! No error messages. The DVD burn completed succesfully within 15 mins.

The program is called Fireman 2.0, found it on download.com.

So it must have been just Nero then I guess?

Thanks for your help guys.

Hello again,

Just to come back to this issue again. Well...the Fireman 2 burner software wasn't bad but it didn't totally fix the issues. The problem kept coming back, even with Fireman 2.

I bought new DVD's. This time I bought Sony instead of TDK and it's working fine now. So I suppose it was a media problem after all.

Thanks for your help guys!
