Good Q.

Aaron: I had similar symptoms when my system hard drive was failing. I was having serious problems with starting up Windows so when I finally got it to start up....I started burning to DVD whatever I could. Well, since it was using my C drive as it's swap file...I was getting the same wild swings you were and it was taking forever to burn. Luckily, I got what I wanted off the drive and then it TOTALLY died.

So...sounds like something is dying in your machine. If the rest of the computer is working fine...I'd guess it's your burner too.
