2 things........does it freeze only while playing CD's, and if so is the CD getting really hot?

 

[jgaud]

Shadow, it only freezes the system while playing cds not mp3 off hdd the sys freezes and the cds keeps playing until of course i reboot ............cd temp seem normal

long shot, but maybe look for a firmware update?

Are you running the new 4 in 1 drivers from Via. Another longshot, but that might help as well as disabling DMA on that drive.

 

[jgaud]

where would i find the update? and yes iam running 4.32s w/ dma disabled in the bios.

Since I didn't notice the brand of your CD Rom, I can't make a suggestion other than checking the site of the mfg.
