I don't know about your system, but I talked to my dealer's Tech
support, and they told me to disable DMA usage by the CDROM. Once I
disable that everything works fine, I guest there is some memory conflict
on my system.
Goto control panel, system, device manager tab, highlight CDROM, click
properties, click setting tab and uncheck DMA.
