comp locks up when i swap cd's

[Nakamori]

my computer freezes sometimes when i swap cd's, and sometimes doesn't even detect the cd drive in windows (i.e. there is no cd drive in 'my computer',it does in the bios, however.) any suggestions?

There are no thermal problems that i know of, and my rails are very stable . I am certain it is a software problem, but I have very little idea on how to approach this.

first i would try a data cable swap . ive seen bad cables do this. make sure your master slave setup is correct .
