Booooooooooom!!!!!!
 

A min ago, there i was, playing vice city and all of a sudden BOOOOM! smells of burnt, so i though, ****, there goes the gpu but it coudlnt be cos the pc didnt hang up or anything, so i shut it down, opened the case, everything looks fine to me...
... THE cd had blown in the drive LOL good job it was only my backup i wouldve been pist off if i was using the original, so i open the cd drive from everywere cleaned it throughly and thankfully it works alright, point of the story? USE NOCD CRACKS hahahaha :)

lol, damn straight :D lol hahaa

damn what speed is your cdrom? doesnt the disc have to be spinning faster than 52x the break apart like that?

I too have heard this. Even though you have a drive capable of doing this, it is rare that it gets to that speed.





Tyler!

its a liteon cdrw 52x36x52

There you go.

Ive got basically the same burner. So I guess I better not be too suprised if this happens to me. :cool:






Tyler!

I've heard of this happening but never actually seen it. You are lucky it didnt trash the drive :)

yeah thats what i though aniways, i downloaded the nocd crack for vicecity and i shall never use the cd again lol

smart move

In all of my experiences with all of the computer work I have done in the past, I have never seen anything like this ever happen. I have built a few with Liteon burners too! That thing had to be hummin' pretty fast to do that!
What the heck Luciel, are you tweaking things up a bit there? LOL
Sounds like you let Tim Allen work on it for ya :p Must have been a "tool time" special! :D Glad it is still working after all of that. ;)

hahahaha i remember that program :P, and no i havent touched them at all in fact my computer isnt tweaked at all lol im just glad the big boom was just a cd and not the gpu or the processor cos then i woulve been real pissed lol

On a full installation of GTA:Vice city the cd isn't even read apart from when you boot :confused:

i just watched myth busters and at 25,000 rpms the cds shattered and they said a 52x drive can get the cd spinning up to 30,000 rpms

I've had to pull the power to my computer because i could hear my (liteon) dvd-rom spinning way to fast, it wouldn't open and felt way too hot.

so its final, liteons are horny bastards! :p
