Hello,

My guess is a hardware failure, but the computer working with a blank CD really casts a doubt on it. I would take the computer into a dealer, and ask them about it... what I would want to do is swap the CD-ROM with a different one, and see if the behavior is the same. If so, then there is something wrong at the software level.
