it was running extrememly slow then the burner died I had to take a pin to eject the disc and seemed to be powerless

I am unraring an 8gb file and I'm at over 1 hour now just like my old P4

I setup the IDE to AHCI much better!!

I used the intel chip util and it says that I have a G965 Express chipset I taught it was a P965 Express Chipset A bit confused here!!


I've extracted the same 8gb file in almost 2 minutes now and the CPU was at %20 instead of 5 or 6 and 1 hour later!!!!

I found something interesting I think the problem(well one of them is from my burners)
I have 2 dual DVD burners that I use with nero I am able to burn 2 dvd's at once no problem but it's when nero verifies the dvd's that everything happens
soon as I move the mouse to disable the screensaver it takes like 5 minutes for my system to react and when it comes back all the windows or whatever is open gets dragged all over the screen I usually have to reset the computer

the burners are both sata Pioneer DVR-212D 18x
