I think my problems (#25) can be blamed on a faulty dvd-drive and/or its' dvd-to-usb casing. The same dvd-drive connected to a machine running Windows XP produces the following symptoms:
* Fan starts running at full speed when dvd usb cable is connected. * The computer won't even complete bios boot and eventually shuts down before attempting to load any OS when the dvd usb cable is connected. * Dvd playback with PowerDVD is distorted, both sound and image is clipping and very low quality, with frequent frame freezes. The drive in question is a Dell model DW-Q58A-DM. Sorry for the confusion. -- System freezes when inserting a CD/DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
