DVD playback locks up explorer

topazkitty said:

Hi, I have an Dell Inspiron 1525 running windows 7 32-bit and has a PBDS DVD+-RW DS8W1P ATA Device drive. Whenever I play DVDs back in any player my system locks up and my DVD drive will not eject or read the disk while Explorer is at a standstill and task manager can't even kill the process. I have tried flashing the firmware on the drive which completed successfully and had some improvement but the symptoms still occur. My DVD drive is region one and this occurs in multiple DVDs so my discs aren't scratched. Also I am able to run and install software from DVDs as well as read files and burn discs.

Also attached is my task manager screenshot as the problem is occurring right now

also here is the crash information for the failures

Any help would be appreciated

If your computer just hangs we need the event viewer information

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.

You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).

When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.

When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.

If your computer BSOD's we need the DMP file.

If you wish to have others assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder. The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
* Briefly describe the problem history and circumstances in the same post. Somebody will attend to your query as soon as possible.


Also if you take a snapshot of the task manager make sure you have the show all task from all users ticked on the bottom.

Thanks
