remove daemon tools as it has a file sptd.sys that causes all sorts of trouble

Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp,sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads

when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.

Desktop or laptop? How old is the drive? What part of the world are you in?

There are three major causes:
1) Defectice drive or connection
2) Defective disks
3) Defective motherboard

Optical drives may not last as long as you think. I have had drives go bad in as little as two or three years. My experience has shown the head/drive goes out of calibration so it doesn't track/lock onto tracks - sometimes this is slow to drift out of alignment. That is, is problem shows up occassionally and gets progressively worse. Other times it just stops working (locking to a track).

Cable connections can also be a cause but if the cable has securely attached to begin with then this cause is unlikely.

Defective disks happen, such as scratched, contaminants on the surface, failure of the reflective material (can be related to humidity levels), old age (tests show degradation in as little as seven to ten years depending on material and environment). If the disk used to work (especially a purchased pressed disk) but now doesn't read, defective drive is my suspect.

Defective motherboard where the controller fails - not very likely compared to the first two listed above.

Hi NRT. Let's start with some very basic questions first.

1. With NO DVD/CD in the subject drive, will your system boot Windows ok?

2. From your post, it looks as though you replaced the DVD player 2 month's ago.
Was it a new or used unit? Did it work when it was installed 2 month's ago?

Let us know

Regards
JohnnyA
