I have a Plextor 716 that has done the same thing to me. I also have an NEC Optiarc drive that is working fine.
There are a couple of possiblities why. One would be the laser has gotten week but is not completely dead so it will start burning but can never finish because it can't burn correctly all the time any more. This is what has happened to mine after roughly 4 years.
Second could be that you need a firmware update from Plextor. You can check what version you have by looking in the Default Drive list. The last item listed in the name is the firmware version. Then match that against the last one issued by Plextor.
Third could be your CDs. I had a batch of music quality CDs that sat in a Sunny area for months. They will no long burn correctly in any program.
