Device Buffer Issues

[xbadcarma]

This issues started about a week ago. I have not made any changes to the computer prior to this issue...not that I know of anyway.

 

When starting a burn the Device Buffer will go back and forth between around 10% to 90% constantly. Due to this it is taking very long to burn anything. A CD Takes about 25 minutes and a DVD DL Takes around 2 and a half hours...

 

Not sure what info you guys will need to help me so just tell me what and I will get it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum, xbadcarma!

 

Without a log it's guessing time.

 

Perhaps a DMA issue?

Sorry, guess I should have stated. I have already googled this and tryed to find the fix myself. DMA has already been checked and it was fine. Here is a log from one of my CD's

You have DMA problems. Read again the link posted above, and do it properly this time.

Also update ImgBurn.

 

I will try again. Altho it looks just like the post says it should.

 

I have the most uptodate imgburn...That burn was from before I updated.

Did you remove your IDE controller(s) and rebooted?

Yes, I did

Change the IDE cable for a good 80-wire one to rule it out as a problem. Also look for the latest drivers for your IDE controller/chipset.

No go, gona try to burn with something other than ImgBurn see if it does the same thing.
