One of the compaq evo D300 desktops (MS XP pro) in my office is driving me crazy. The CD-ROM will spin randomly for 20-30 minutes and then stop for a few minutes and then spin for 20-30 minutes. This happens all day long. The drive isn't being accessed, it just starts spinning. This problem started a few months ago for reasons unexplained, and I have tried to find an answer. It was suggested that this might be related to a virus, spyware, or adware but all of the virus defs are up to date and I receintly installed SPYBOT S&D as well as AD-WARE 6.0 but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
