Alienware 14: BD-Rom-Drive (repetetive eject noise)

I've got an Alienware 14 (Windows 7) with a BlueRay Drive.

Every approximately 10 minutes it makes the eject disc sound. Its the same sound when you right click your Alien14 in "Devices and Printers" and chose "eject" -> "BD-ROM-Drive (E:)". However if i put a CD (or DvD/BD) into the Drive it stops happening. Also the fan gets a little bit louder after this sound.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

    There isn't anything wrong with the computer.

    What's going on, is an application that's running in the background.
    It's mostly a power-saving feature. Causes the computer to think the BluRay drive is needed and triggers that sound.

    Is it possible to cansel this procedures ? It is really annoying when this happens so often.

    Edit:

    It can't be normal. I'm sitting here trying to read a pdf-text and the drive makes this noise every 3 minutes...

    I have the same issue.  It also causes a slowdown with all of my games whenever it occurs, causing the graphics to lag.
