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.

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.

Same problem here, going to see if changing the ZPODD registry helps tonight.

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.
