Optical Drives of 20 X DVD-RW's Breaking CD's & DVD's

Dear Friends,
I am a MBA Student from Chennai University, having Computer assembling as a Hobby. Recently I have come across the CDs and DVDs getting broken inside the DVD-RW's. Last week it happened with my friends PC, with ASUS 20X DVD-RW.( Just 10 days old)

But yesterday my own SONY 20X Optriac DVD-RW broke, December 07' month PCQuest Magazine's DVD. The computer vendor says that it may be due to the enormous speed of the spindle/CD motor. It was not so in the past. This I have come across now only.
Kindly guide me what to do in such situations. The Sony DVD-RW is just 20 days old, after purchase.
Both media were in a good condition only.
And used 3 to 4 times only so far.

Regards

1. Open the cabinet and check if ALL FOUR mounting screws have been used on the DVDRW drive. I have see lazy techs use two and say it's enough.

2. Cut a 6 inch by 6 inch piece of thick cardboard into four equal pieces, and place them under the weight bearing parts of your cabinet, usually the four small pegs/legs underneath.

And while you're at it don't leave your email address in your posts unless you want lots of SPAM twelve inches long

Better clean up all your posts brother. See here
