Driver Issue Or more serious problem

[imatt89]

Hello I just purchased a new PC from over clockers with a
'TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F SCSI CdRom' optical drive.

Now yesterday I put my crysis disc in it and it booted up the
crysis autorun and it gave me a menu to install crysis - nice.

Today... I've put in 3 different game Disks that I know work
and nothing comes up (no auto run) and if I open the drive from
my computer (explore, or double click) it just crashes on me.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm running vistax64 with:
Q9450 2.6
4g 1066
GTX 260
EVGA 790i ***

Note: I just installed vista myself, perhaps there's a driver or something
I missed? But seems unlikely as Crysis installed fine... anyway thanks in
advance.

Edit: Just ran the "update driver" for the optical drive in Device Manager
according to Vista my drivers are up to date for this drive.

it wont be a driver problem, but tbh sounds like a duff cdrom drive... you get quite a few bad ones from new these days.

Well I'll tell you here what I told you in GH section.

Its probably a duff drive or duff cable.

replace the drive and test another?

probalby a duff drive or duff cable as J.B says
