Our accounts office has a pretty slow computer which has had a problem with its CD Rom. AN expert was called and he Installed a new LG CD rom with the reason that the "eye" of the former CD Rom had a problem. Now the CD Rom runs so loud it shakes the CPU once the PC is put on. Checking the specifications from the new CD Rom Package.... it states that its recommended for 256MB Ram system requirements. could it be the problem? The expert says its the fan which has the problem. I dont believe it. What do you think? The PC's has the following; pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz, 192 MB of RAM

Another suggestion is, check to see if he screwed in all the screws. Sometimes, a lazy tech will just screw in 1 screw instead of 4. When the cd rom vibrates, it vibrates more than it should since it wasn't mounted properly. Hope this helps!

We have a saying "If you can hear the hard drive working..you're overworking it and need to upgrade it to a faster drive. You may simply have a bad cd rom drive and need to exchange it for a working one. Also, 192 mb of ram is not a whole lot concidering it takes an average of about 380 to stay online and work or play games without problems. Install more ram as quick as you can.

if the cd rom drive that he installed for u needs 256 mb as a req to work well then that must be the problem. iim definitely sure it isnt the fan....the fan in a pc is way too small to make the whole pc move. try adding more ram to it or find urself a better technician to look it up.....but its definitely not the fan..

Something in the drive is out of balance. Memory is not the problem.
Try it without a CD in the drive. Try different CDs.

Its a faulty cdrom and I can't believe you run an office puter with only 192 mb ram. You seriously need some more memory.

CALL BACK THE EXPERT AND ASK HIM TO SCREW THE COMPUTER CASE ASWELL AS THE CD-ROM TIGHLTY...........
thats the problem........... and as a piece of free advice: add up a little more ram...... thats be wonderful...... bring it to a total of about 512 mb.

Go to : My Computer>D:(right click it and click properties)
And find where you can adjust the speed of the CD-ROM. Lower it quite a bit, and that should help you.

Nope, nothing is wrong with the PC.
LG delivers the worst quality optical drives & I am 100% sure that there is something wrong with the CD Drive.
I hope I've Helped You.

according to what you're saying. it is not elementary to be certain what the situation is. you probably did not say no rely while you're applying extreme velocity or dial or on the spot. while you're applying a on the spot internet, it must be sign barrier difficulty. while you're applying extreme velocity, it must be undercover agent ware difficulty, if dial up, must be bandwidth difficulty. in case you have been applying you computing device ok in the past. i don't think of it is computing device difficulty. Modem means surge difficulty is likewise a danger.
