I have posted this before, and I have struggled with it and still cannot figure out a solution. I have also posted to hardware newgroups and forums to no avail. Basically if I burn an audio cd or rip from an audio cd my computer becomes unresponsive until that task is finished. Other tasks such as burning a data cd from an iso file or reading from a cd cause no problem. If I am playing an ogg file at the time it grinds to a halt and stutters out a note or two every 10-15 seconds. The dma is turned on for both the burner and the harddrive. I have seen posts on usenet with people with the same mobo with similar problems and no resolution. RedHat 7.3 worked fine and Windows 2000/XP work fine on the same hardware. Is there a way to fix whats broken or do I need to buy a new motherboard?
