CD-RW acting weird in XP

Hi All! I have a AMD 650 mhz, with 128 sdram and 15 gig harddrive. About 2 months ago, i purchased a 32x CD-R/RW. It was working perfectly fine for the first two weeks, until i accidently tried to burn a 16x CD at 24x. I've been having the following problems ever since: 1) Extremely loud humming sound 2)The CDs i buy that are 32x compatible can only burn at 12x 3)Even when there's nothing running the background, the read-buffer always goes to down to zero. 4) The few times i manage to burn a cd, it tells me that the buffer underrun has been avoided 50 times (depending on the time, it varies from 30 - 60 times).
Can someone help me. I'm just hoping i didn't ruin my burner when. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
