I almost soiled my pants!?

Question

I was playing my Scrabble game when there was a terribly loud "explosion" inside my PC. The CD exploded into a million pieces. WHAT HAPPENED?

Answer 1

Most likely, your cd drive overheated, and it caused the CD to "explode". Its really no big deal, you just need to buy a new cd drive.

Answer 2

I think it has something to do with the speed of the cd-rom and the quality of the CD. Although they did this on the show MYTHBUSTERS but they went to an extremely fast speed in order for the cd to explode.

    * It can happen any time.

    * The speed of the drive can break apart a disk if it is warped, has small cracks, etc.

Answer 3

something wrong with the cd drive: the bar that holds the cd down through the hole was probably misaligned and pushed down extremely hard where there was disc, not a hole. make sure you put discs in properly

Answer 4

blew your cd drive !

Answer 5

either your CD was of poor quality ....

or your drive was running at high speed for a long time ...

Its really hard to clean up .. make sure that thers no pieces left near the drive lens..
