Getting BSoDs when ripping DVDs with LITE-ON SH-16A7S

OjBinge · Apr 2, 2007

I just purchased a LITE-ON SH-16A7S (SATA) DVD burner and have been having trouble ripping DVDs. The first five or so I ripped gave me no problems, but lately I get a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION BSoD after about 1/3 to 1/2 of the rip (with either ImgBurn or DVDFab Decrypter). I also have this problem when verifying DVDs with ImgBurn, so I'm inclined to think it has something to do with the drives ability to read DVDs. I've not yet had any problems burning a DVD. My older, IDE interface DVD-ROM rips and verifies DVDs just fine. System specs are below.

XP Pro
Athlon 3500+
1 gig RAM
Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI Mobo, nForce 4 SLI chipset
WD WD2500JS HDD (SATA)
nVidia GeForce 6800 GS

Might this be a problem with overheating? Or the SATA interface? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here's the numbers from the bottom of the most recent BSoD.

Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions:

• Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
• Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
• You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer.
