fitted a new liteon 16x dvd rom to go with my philips dvd rw dvd 8701 ive got the dvd rw as master and the dvd rom as slave and when i play a dvd in the dvd rom the sound crackles and a bit distorted but when i put the dvd in the dvd rw ithe sound is ok... the pc is a dell dimension 1100 with a celeron d 2.6 gig processor 256 mb of ddr memory 250 w psu didnt install the driver because windows xp reconised it when i used the dvd rom it used most of the cpu usage
Well I would suggest first I would get some more memory first and then try them both again....either way you will need more memory as at the moment you memory is probably all used up with the operating System.
It could still be the powersupply needing upgrade but I would go memory first...
First thing 250 PSU is the absolute minimum for XP anyway so dont worry about that:
Have you got the
INTERNAL CD DVD ROM AUDIO CABLE MPC2 to MPC2 connector this basically goes from the Roms to a connection on the absolute your saying the DVD rom is fine its probally because the DVD rom has the MPC2 connector going from it to the absolute try that the MPC2 cables very very very cheap!!!!!!!! There shud be two MPC2 connectors on ur board, Black is for CD and Whites for AUX dosent make a different which is which but plug the DVD RW in AUX (white one)
