running winxp with 512mb RAM, 900mhz, and microadvantage 4x DVD+-RW, went to it website and it said to flash with it latest f/w for media compatibility issue. b4 the flash i can only write at 1x or 1.3x max with any media capable at writing at 2x or 4x. After the flash, i can write up to 4x with no problem, but 1/3 or 1/2 through the burning process, i get either system crash and reboot OR beginning dump of physical memory..
stop: 0x00000008E (0x00000005,.....)

i thought the memory was bad, replace the memory no go. Not sure what to do now.

btw, if i write at 2x now, it will last longer in the burning process b4 it crash or mem dump b.s. that if i was burning at 4x

Any suggestion or solution would really appreciated. thanks in advanced.
