Default Combo drive gone crazily slow

For the last couple of days my Lite-On combo drive is performing too slowly. A 700 MB cd takes 12-15 minutes to write. I haven't installed any new software other than games. I use Nero 7 Premium. One more peculiar thing is that it takes lesser time when writing at 40x than 48x and 52x. The CD-DVD drive speed test utility gives a average writing speed of 7.22x when settings are set for 40x. 6.65x when set for 48x and 6.95x when set for 52x. please help.

Try resetting the DMA. Use this tool: DMA Reset
