I didn't know you were supposed to multi-task while burning, it could cause data corruption to the info burnt to disc or just make it take longer to burn. I'd just let my system be while it's burning.

The driver he is referring to will be the chipset drivers. You should then reinstall your video drivers after installing the chipset drivers. Asus has them (http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P8X) There is also a bios flash concerned with dma speeds. This may have a bearing on the situation.
