Hmmmm only other thing I can think of (other than weird hardware meltdown is, are the hard drive and CD burner on the same IDE controller? If so, you might get better results from sefilesparating them.
It's still weird. I have a 233MHz Pentium MMX and I can burn data or WAV audio tracks at 16x with no trouble. (MP3s usually need 8x to burn to audio CDs because they take more processing to decompress.)
