I re-installed the OS but the same thing, though now pretty much every other "autorun" disc works but 2 of my games won't work.

Stranglehold (which I bought 2 days ago) both discs (dual layers) and a backup copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, they both look new (San Andreas isn't dual layer, I thought the drive would probably have problems with dual layers but that doesn't seem to be the case), it's very strange and specially because I tried them under Linux and the drive starts spinning instantly just like with every other disc.

I really don't get this and I've never seen this before, I bought this drive only 6 months ago because the original one of this PC died after 2 and half years of use, but this one is still new and has worked perfectly all this time...it's a Samsung too, the problem is that I bought it OEM so I don't really know if I'm entitled to a warranty...then again, I'm sure it's not the drive but it's specifcally these 3 discs it just doesn't want to read properly and when I click on the executables the "Computer" window freezes for like ten minutes or so, then it comes back and around 2 minutes later it tells me the .exe files are not a Win32 application!!!

It reminds me of when I tried executing older 16bit installers in Vista or XP!!!, it also takes forever to "explore" the discs, I really need help if anybody else knows something please!!!
