Is this an internal optical drive or an external one?
If internal boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isolate issues with your Mac) and try it from there. Reboot normally and try again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
If it's an external drive also try Safe Mode. If that doesn't help try a different USB port on your Mac and a different USB cable.
Next try resetting the SMC, How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support, and reset the NVRAM, Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Also try a slower burning rate.
This is an external drive.
What kind of disc are you trying to burn, CD, DVD, RW? Is this a data disk?
Do you have another Mac you can try the optical drive with? Have you tried different ports?
