Righty ho, I got a Dimension 8400 with a Radeon X300SE, 512mb DDR2 memory P4 3.0Ghz etc.
I have replaced the CDrom with a Liteon DVD SOHD-16P9S and also a Pioneer 109 DVDRW
1st problem is that when i put a DVD Video disc in the Liteon the system just freezes and the only way to shut down is power switch on the front. All other discs play fine (CD Audio, PC Games etc)
2nd problem is that I have Swat 4 which when i boot to play it just goes to a black screen & although i can move the mouse & see the mouse occasionally i again have to hit the power switch.
I have auto updates on and have no virus or spyware on the system
Any Clues?
Your Video card drivers need to be updated.
Go to www.ati.com and downloard the latest drivers.
I have the same problem did you ever fix it, I have updated drivers Ati - X800se. my screen goes black with almost every game, if i can get into video options i usually tunr off anit - alisiaing and it works, but for certain games, I cant do that, Call of duty is one that I am having problems accesing.

I'm running SWAT4 on the same system but I updated the Catalyst drivers from ATI directly. This may help.
