I have two computers so far that the CD rom with open and shut over and over, to the point it has to be disconneted. Is this just an unlucky thing getting two defected Roms or is there something causing it?

I think it is a problem not with the drives but with the software controlling them. Try updating the driver. If that doesn't work call a technician.

I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem in your case but I had the same problem on my PC once, it was a deffective hardware. The CD rom was pretty old so I had to knock it down once in a while for it to work but later it ended up opening and closing repeatedly.

Either reinstall the drivers on your computer or visit the company's website and see if you can update the firmware.
Try the cd-rom in someone elses computer and see if the same thing happens. It may just be a cheap cd-rom

If the driver will not resolve the issue, try to update the BIOS , if it still a problem you need to replace the Optical drive

Right tic on "My Computer", select "Manage", in the left pane select "Disk Management", tic on the plus sign to the left of "Disk Drives", right tic on the offender and select "uninstall", then restart the computer. That will reload the drivers.
