LG GCE-8481B making lovely coasters - grrrr...

Okay, I've got less than a month left on my OEM warranty. This drive has functioned properly in the past so I wanted to consult the experts. It was sent as a replacement when my LG GCE-8320B crapped out.
Here is my setup:
Primary master: Maxtor 60 GB 7200 hard disk
Primary slave: Maxtor 80 GB 7200 hard disk
Secondary master: LG CD-RW GCE-8481B
Secondary slave: LG DVD GDR-8161B
I've tried to copy original disks, data, and now to create a CD from an ISO. The software I've encountered problems with is EasyCDCreator 5.3.5.10 (latest patch...) and winbackup (latest version).
The drive starts out at 24X write and by the time it hits 50% completion it stops having crawled along at 1X for several minutes. It then tries to write in a final flurry and then stops; the disk is ejected and errors are reported. Here are the EasyCDCreator errors:
E800419898: Write error - (03/0C/00)
E80041899: Write error - buffer underrun occurred - (06/C5/00)
E80041925: TrackWriter error - Command retry failed - (T7118)
I am particularly concerned by this last error.
Any thoughts would be appreciated - I'm getting very tired of making coasters...
