ok so it may not be your cd/rom

Can you burn music disc's or any other discs?
What worries me is the clicking coming from the cd rom.

Somtimes a cdrom will whirrr and thats ok but clicking usually is never good.

and about the ram..that would not effect this.

I know when my dvd rom was going out it took a long time to open files, but it would tell me it had bad blocks or sectors. Can you recreate the error you posted in your first post and write down what it says.

Ok asa_sniper I tried for the life of me to recreate the original msg re failure to read and the thumb nail vew just wouldn't show but a few imagages, when I tried to open from the picture icons it just froze everything up I waited it out after cntrl alt delete, then my computer shut down, after several attempts to turn it on it would try to power but then cliks off before anything shows up, finally it powered on and I got a page in black and white, headed American Megatrends and listed the processor, usb and other components. on the top it said press f11 for bbs pop up but I selected f2 as directed at the very bottm to load default values and continue, I am afraid to put any more cds in the drive, I don't want to fry my processor.

You wont fry your cpu, the first page you seen is pretty normal...

That is just your BIOS screen.
Try pressing DEL or F11 to get int your BIOS and find load Bios fail safe defaults.
