HOILY SHIT DUDE!? has this ever happen to you!? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jeff aka NIGHTfall · 08-17-2004, 06:37 PM

so i was laying down in the living room while my little brother was on the family computer when all of a sudden i hear a loud ass pop/bang sound. i thought it was a paintball gun but i wasnt sure, so i look around the house to find out if maybe a picture fell down or something, nope... so i go back and laydown and i hear it happen again just not half as loud... this time i know where it came from, the computer desk. so i thought to myself maybe Mike just keeps kicking something, but he didnt... come to find out, a CD exploded in the computers drive! the drive wouldnt open at all, millions of pieces were in it, so i shut it down, cracked her open and removed all the peices. lucky for us the drive wasnt damaged... but its still weird that it broke up into a million pieces.. has that ever happen to you?????

jwerd · 08-17-2004, 06:38 PM

yeah that's happend before... LOL but sounds like you got an older cd rom driver, because the new ones have protection against that I believe.

Wasn't damaged? How much "plastic dust" do you think is floating around there? Spend $35 on a new drive.

I've read before that the 52X (I think) limit is imposed by the laws of physics rather than technology - if the drive spins much faster the disc will disintegrate due to centrifugal forces. Or something. Perhaps this is what happened to yours.

That doesn't mean that the CD Drive is only 5 months old, though.

Project-Shadow · 08-17-2004, 06:40 PM

Yeah that happened to me playing Sim City 3000..
The game was running unusually slow, and I didnt realise it till I closed the game and saw the cd drive sticking out slightly. I shut down and find thousands of cd pieces.. crazy shit.

brizzad · 08-17-2004, 06:40 PM

damn

did little pieces of CD get stuck in your drive?

NoCarrier · 08-17-2004, 06:41 PM

Hahaha.. I didn't know CD's could explode!

Even if the CD drive is new, could be defective..

stocktrader23 · 08-17-2004, 06:43 PM

Sometimes the CD can just explode because of how fast it's going.

Another funny one I read about was a certain game that went airborn in your pc and exploded. They tracked it down to the paint on the top of the CD was unbalanced so the wind resistance was making it wobble and take off.

Jer · 08-17-2004, 06:45 PM

That happened once to my brother's computer... crazy

Saw this on Myth Busters one day. They were testing to see if the cd could explode and kill you, they found it could do a lot of damage but probably would not kill you, it was really cool to see the cd spin that fast in slow motion, it starts to ripple and then flies apart!

wow, that has never happened to me. I'll look out for it now

MrMonkeyFingers · 08-17-2004, 06:54 PM

The MythBusters 2nd episode on the discovery channel did a test where they got the CD to explode. But I think they ended up having to use a grinder to get the cd to spin fast enough....

what do drivers have to do with it?

this is very common with cd readers/recorders that spin faster than 30x

The amount of RPM that thing is spinning at, without really high quality media, is sure to happen some time another. Especially when playings games and the cd is constantly being read for long periods of time.

Something like that happened to my friend's computer. I think it destroyed his cd drive

I saw this happen on mythbusters. The cd had to be damaged for it to go in a normal drive.

Preacher · 08-18-2004, 12:33 AM

damn... that would probably give me a heart attack

Shit, didn't know that could happy. What causes it?

cabo68 · 08-18-2004, 12:53 AM

I've seen that happen a couple of times at one of the places I worked. I think it's mainly damaged or defective CD's. At that high RPM they disintegrate.

Steen2 · 08-18-2004, 12:59 AM

Heard of it with some of the earlier DVD writers on the consumer market.

More Booze · 08-18-2004, 01:11 AM

That did probably happen because the CD did have a very small crack on it.
They are spinning so fast so it does not take much before they "explode".

bdld · 08-18-2004, 01:56 AM

interesting, never even knew such a thing was possible.

Mishi · 08-18-2004, 02:28 AM

It happened to me! It was so tragic. I was playing The Sims Livin' Large...sounded like a gun going off very near my head...next thing I knew, the game froze and I got an error message...couldn't open the drive. Had to uninstall it, pry open the door and shake out all the pieces. Mostly it was shattered to bits, with a couple of large bits and plenty of dust.

I shudder to think what happened to my poor Sims...

I keep meaning to write Maxis and ask for a replacement, but I figure I'll wait (and wait, and wait...) for Sims II, instead.

EscortBiz · 08-18-2004, 02:32 AM

Thats why you cant bring CD's on planes

Goose · 08-18-2004, 02:37 AM

lol an exploding CD? wow it probably takes 100s of degrees until that happens...was it in the burner perhaps?
