Greetings,
I have Windows 8 Pro (64 Bit) installed on my desktop computer. No issues generally except for an inability to burn CD's or DVD's. Whenever I try, my system hangs and eventually freezes. This occurs when I use Roxio or LG burner or Windows Media player. I've checked my DVD/CD burner and it is compatible with Windows 8. All CD's and DVD's play properly only the blank discs cause the problem. When I had Windows 7 running previous to the Windows 8 installation no issues occurred. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.
 
I finally figured out that I hadn't installed the proper chipset, raid and AHCI drivers. Now all is well!
