Problem with CD burning - "Burn process completed successfully" "Data verification failed"

I have got my CD-RW for three months, and burnt over a hundred disks with no problem (with the latest version of Nero).

All of a sudden, it stopped working properly, generating a pile of coasters. After done some research, I uninstalled other burning program (Roxio), updated related drives, reinstalled Nero, closed Anti-virus software while burning...such suggestions I can find from web...none of them ever worked! ( Some of them might work a little bit, 'cause at first I always got a write failure, but now I got successful burn with failed data verification).

Today I just got a brand new burner (exactly the same as before, got an exchange) and installed, hoping to see the miracle. But nothing ever changed ...

The following is a sample log file produced by Nero:

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will try what you suggested here and see what happens.

Just curious: How come the whole burning mechanism stopped working properly suddenly while nothing (h/w, s/w) has been changed? Seems many people have encountered such problem. I used to burn over a hundred disks using the same cd-r's (I have tried another cd-r, still no luck) even at 52x, and the verifications are always successful.
It is real possible that if you enabled overburn in nero to burn a little more than normal it can mess up your burner. But that doesn't explain you adding another cd burner and it not working. Have you tried putting your cd burner in a friends computer?

Report time, guys.

First I unstalled Nero again, cleaned every trace of Nero from Registry as suggested by Nero, rebooted, installed Nero 6.3.1.6. Then I started burning experiment. just tried 3 speeds: 12x, 16x, 40x. With 12x and 16x, I got successful burn and verification; with 40x, I got successful burn but failed verification.

Conclusion: I'll stick to 12x or 16x and never exceed. (Although I burnt successfully at 52x with some dumb luck before)

Thanks a lot for providing me useful information. Now I can burn disks fail-free anyway. :)

Gotta increase points to distribute my thanks. :P
Glad to hear you got it working!
Glad to hear you got it working!
If I only tell you once how glad I am you got it working, would that make me only half as glad as shanekc? <grin>

But we are all glad to have been of help!
