How much free space do you have on your HDD drive? Is your HDD drive defraged? Does it do it with all DVD's or just one specific disc?

It is defraged like 60 gigs left and it seems to do it with games only

maybe the controller your DVD drive is attached to is in PIO mode and not DMA? that can cause your system to crawl whenever the drive is in use.

right click on "my computer", click "properties", then go to "hardware", then "device manager". see my pic for the rest.


i'm almost certain that's your problem.
