Install probs.

Ok first of all.

Did you install the drive?

Is this new drive replacing an existing drive or is it a new drive being added to your PC as an additional drive?

I have a BENQ 1650 myself and BENQ drives are one of the best drives other than a Plextor that you can buy.

I run BENQ 1650's and LG drives in all of my PC's (5) and my latest system using a BENQ 1650 has no problems at all running SH3.

It also appears that your model numbers conflict. As the page you gave reference too says its a 1648A in one part and in another part it says its a 1650 :hmm: . But what is it really?

What does the model number say on top of the actual drive? Does it also say BENQ on the front bezel panel?

And finally for the time being:

How is the drive connected? Is it connected on its own or is it connected inline with a hard drive or other CD/DVD device?

What kind of cable is used to connect the drive? The 80 wire type or the earlier 40 wire type?
