Brand new Toshiba SD-R5272 8x DVD/CD writer, media I think is Memorex 4x DVD+RW and software used is the OEM version of NERO6 with the latest upgrades from the Nero's site.

Syptoms:
Any DVD like action locks up PC..
BackItUp - locks up PC
DiscSpeed Test - locks up PC
DVD data disc - locks up pc

Can Dos:
write a CDR disc with Nero
write a CDR disc with Roxio
read a CD-RW with DirectCD (Roxio)
Write a CD-rw with DirectCD (Roxio)

HAs anybody else seen symptoms of their PC locking up using a DVD in their DVD writer?

People at work are telling me that it is the media, and to try Verbatum Datalife DVD-RW instead of DVD+RW

help
