DVD RAM drive

disks won't mount anymore - system freezes after about a minute or two of trying to mount disk - I got an audio CD to mount, but as soon as I played a track, it played about 2 seconds of it and stopped - system froze again. I've reinstalled the DVD updates (9.0.4 updates) and tried everything I can think - all the necessary extensions appear to be there - Drive Setup won't let me update driver (it's greyed out in the Functions menu) - does this sound like software issue, or do you think it's the drive itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
