Hi,i am facing a strange problem with my asus notebook. problem of "random DVD drive spinup" so to speak.Well,whenever i start WMP on my notebook, insert a Usb device, start VLC media player, or whenever autorun is executed,my dvd Drive spins up. there isnt any disc inside it either. everything else works fine. I took it to a service center and got my Drive replaced; but the problem still continues.I am not able to find out any solution to it even after "Scrounging the web" for a solution. please help me with this issue,any help is appreciated.. :|

make sure your pc is free from malwares .. scan your pc with avira rescue disc. Also try booting into safe mode and check the symptoms there.
