I have just bought a new computer with a Samsung SH-S182M DVD burner, it reads disks fine, but when I try to burn anything on it, either DVD or CD, it would stop at 5 or 6% and either give me a bunch of errors (CRC…DMA…) or just make the whole computer unresponsive. I tried burning with Nero7, Alcohol 120, and Imgburn with the same results…
I’m using Memorex disks, I know it isn’t a good brand but after going through 6 DVD+Rs and a lot of CD-Rs all with the same problem, I’m pretty sure it’s my burner.
I also tried to update to the latest firmware, but got the same results.
