DVDRW won't burn my discs

[ghidu]

My LG 4082 DVDRW doesn't burn any of my dvds for sometime now - with differnt errors in nero. This evening I've tried 5 times, on 2 burning software and I've got "Hardware failure" with the program that came with my burner and "no seek complete" and "internal target failure" with Nero. Only 1 disc out of 5 I managed to burn succesfully (Silverline). I've used Teac and some Silverline.
I have the latest (A208) firmware, installed&reinstalled nero, Ultra DMA 2 (33) on my IDE Channel is checked. I want to exclude all posibilities, because if I take it back and they burn 1 disc, then they won't replace it.
Any ideas? Thanks

In Soviet Russia, DVDRW burns you...

you meet the minimum system requirements? if yes then the thing is good for throwing

Just out of curiosity, what version of Nero are you using? Someone came in here with a similar problem last month, and it turned out they were using 5.5.

Thank you guys for your replies.
I have an AMD 64 3200+ proc on a gigabyte mobo with 1G of Ram and this DVD burner worked pretty well until 2 weeks ago - with some exceptions -, but now I can't burn a DVD nor a CD.
Today I tried it on a P4 with a CD (all my DVDs are gone after all the tests) and gave me a "Could not blahblah End of Track" something...
I have tried different versions of Nero, now I have the latest (I think) 6.6.0.6.
Can you recommend me a good burner? because I too think that
