Unable to play DVD's on my CRX320EE Drive

I am having problems playing either DVD movies or DVD Games on my drive. I am able to play standard cd's with no problems. When I put in a DVD it starts to read it then my computer locks up....sometimes I get the install screen of my game, sometimes it locks up before I see anything. When I try to eject the disk, my computer auto reboots. I am running WinXP Pro, and I have DirectX-10 (which I have reinstalled). Please help..

In my sony dvd combo 1 movie vcd is playing very well .but any dvd or dvd movie is not running & not read .pls suggest what to do now.

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO .!

is it new if its new then look for the customer support center for warranty and if its out of 6 months warranty then clean your DVD combo with cleaner and then check the SATA cable if its attached properly ,,, and also change the power supply wire, just for a check , if problem don't persist then may be you have a power supply issue... cause DVD power usage is a little high, and CD's take low POWER , just some points difference .

DVD-RAW does not read DVD. It is unable to find a DVD. Is it DVD problem or player problem?

I think I've just answered this question :-

It won't be a driver problem, DVD drives are generic, it will be either the drive has a problem, the dvd has a problem or your media player has a problem

1) Drive issue - does it player other dvd's - if yes, your drive is ok, if now you have a drive problem, try using a CD lens cleaner or a blast of canned air to clean the lens.

2) Disk issue, if just one disk doesn't play, then its a disk issue or data issue. Assuming the disk is clean and not scratched. Does the Disk have the correct country coding for your region. If not then you have to change the region setting on your DVD player

RMB My computer - Manage - Device manager - Optical drive - Properties - Regional settings.
Bear in mind most DVD player will only allow about 5 changes.

3) Media player, your current media player may not have the correct codecs to decodes the video files on this disk. Go to filehippo.com download and install VLC media player. This will play about anything and its free.

DVD movies not playing but CD-ROM games and CD's do?

With the disk inserted, 1) double-click on MyComputer, 2) right-click on the DVD, and select Auto Play from the resulting menu; a window will appear, 3) click on your favorite DVD playing software and 4) check the little box below to do the same every time you insert a movie (as it used to be).

Why my [sony cd rw dvd rom] will not detect a blank dvd disk

If you have the sony CD RW DVD ROM then you can't burn the data in a blank DVD.

Because your Configuration is :
Read : CD / DVD
Write : CD

This means you have a combo drive. But to burn a DVD you should have DVD RW.
