I recently installed a DVDRW drive as my 2nd cd-rom
drive. My 1st is a regular DVD drive. Since then,
whenever I put an audio CD in either drive, after reading
the CD for a few seconds, about half the time I'll get the
blue screen saying: A WAIT OPERATION, ATTACH PROCESS, OR
YIELD WAS ATTEMPTED FROM A DPC ROUTINE. TECH INFO: STOP:
0x000000B8 (0x00000000, 4x) PHYSICAL MEMOR DUMP. and it
reboots. It's not any software issues, i checked all
drivers, both drives do work as far as playing DVD's and
CD's. I don't think I have the slave/master settings
wrong. I'm really not sure what it could be. Any ideas?
 
Make sure all your Windows updates are up to date.There
maybe one to fix this problem.If that is not the case,try
uninstalling new DVD and then reboot and let XP find and
install its own drivers....Good luck.
 
What you might also try is swapping what drive is
slave/master. I have run into instances like this and
once you swap the drives the problem has gone away. I do
not have an exact technical explanation other than maybe
the drive and how the circuitry works for these devices
maybe picky. Another thing you could do is slave the DVD
drive to a harddrive and then leave the DVD/Burner on its
own IDE Port to see if that helps. It is quite possible
you have a bad cable or drive.
