2.5.0.0 is really buggy for me..

[Jared]

Hello everyone.

 

I'm having major issues since I upgraded to 2.5.0.0. Here's just a summary of my problems:

 

1. Write speed only tops at 1.0x, 4.0x in 2.4.0.0.
   
2. The device buffer constantly drops and "re-buffers" during the write cycle.
   
3. Sometimes, the CD drive simply stops writing and refuses the cancel the write cycle, requiring a manual reboot.
   
4. The verify cycle only outputs errors.
   

 

This ONLY occured in 2.5.0.0. I'll post my device details soon once I get the previous version installed again. I doubt it's a device issue--why would it start after installing 2.5.0.0?

Hi and welcome to the forum, Jared!

 

Sounds more as a DMA issue.

 

A burn log would be nice.
