Why can't I play or rip CDs. My pc reads only the first minute or so. Tried an external cd drive with the same result

When I play a CD it stops after I minute and 3 seconds. Each CD, I tried.

I bought an external CD drive with its own software (Nero Essentials) but the same thing happens.
Must be a Windows problem.
Solution?
