Computer shuts down when ejecting the DVD tray

isolate.... disconnect sata cable and press eject... then you can also try another molex connector... if it does the same thing... its most likely lemon! (per comcam)

experience nako sa una katong IT Tech pa ko sa akong previous comapny... ang PC mu freeze (dili jmu lihuk ang mouse and cursor sa desktop) kung akong i eject then close the cdrom

ki lisan nako ug PSU ni ok.... but namatay ang PC after a few days... turns out nga naay ni burot nga capacitor sa mobo

Workaround: replace good running DVD-RW. I encounter this problem before nya ang issue kay factory defect aron maka claim ka ug warranty sa store nga imong gipalitan.

I already tried interchanging the cables. I used my old DVD-ROM (PATA) on it and it never shuts down when I press the eject button. I even added my old HDD (PATA) on it and it stayed on for several hours. So could this be a factory defect?

99% factory defect. have it exchanged while you still can.

Is LG a good brand for a DVD Rewriter? Can you suggest a good brand of DVD Rewriter? Coz I'm certainly not liking this one.

[coolnezz]

LG is a good brand, i have LG DVD-R/W. other good brands are pioneer, sony, hp, samsung. just depends how much you want to spend. but they all do the same thing.



try a different SATA/POWER cable first.

How about ASUS?

[coolnezz]

it's a good brand too. just depends on what features you want. they're all good. maybe you just got a defective unit. or something wrong with the cables.

It was indeed a defective unit. I had it replaced and it's working fine now. Thanks for all the advises!!!
