I've been having a weird time with my computer and I'm wondering whether anyone knows about CD-Rom/motherboard/processor incompatabilities. I recently replaced my CD-Rom with one exactly the same (the original was skipping and I kept getting "fatal exception" upon shutdown mode everytime I used it); putting in the new CD-Rom, however, caused my system to start crashing; it would crash in the middle of any program, including BIOS mode; for some reason, switching the CD-Rom from "master" to "slave" and connecting it to the motherboard on the same cable as the hard drive (rather than on a separate cable, as previous) seemed to help, for a while; however, I'm now getting "fatal exception" errors again from using the CD-Rom. This is my system:
Intel Celeron 400aMHZ 128K cache
Quantum SE/CR4300 4.36 IDE Harddrive
(Panasonic) Mat****a 589/588B 32x IDE internal CD-Rom
Asus P2B-F P-11 440BX 5PCI/2ISA 4-DIMM

Can anyone tell me if my hardware is incompatible with my CD-Rom? Any information of any kind would help. Thanks.
