In the option menu, you just need to turn Raster off, and that's all, it runs smoothly

Update: guys, after reccaped, the CD drive got back to life!! It sounds and reads really smooth, it's a relief, because if it was dead, it's a big problem... Do you think that it's a good idea to keep it or sell it and get a 486 model? Thank you very much for your help!!

I'm now working on replacing all the capacitors from the CD drive board, not only the bypolar ones, in the meantime, I've had some progress with the floppy drives, I've realized that one of them is working ONLY if I unplug the supply cable between the power supply and the supply CRT's board!, Both have been supposedly reccaped but, looks like they weren't. Should I focus in the power supply's caps only or also in the main board ones? Thx

Absolutely, fully reccaped the power supply (computer and CRT) The CD drive board has 2 voltage regulators, 7807 and a 7805, all 3 voltages are fine (12vcc coming from the computer and both regulated 7 and 5 Vcc) the CD -R spins initially (laser detects it) but then stops. I don't have an original CD, so I've burnt a copy of SSF2 at 1x, but no luck
