So I'm watching a tv show right now (Firefly actually, great show, you should watch it, lol.), and about every 8 minutes or so the picture freezes up and the CD tray starts spinning agian. After about 3 seconds of fast spinning it seems to load the next 8 minutes or so and then turns off till next time.
And then it repetes...Its never done this before, but knowing vista, random problems are the norm.
Anyone have any ideas?

No, its the CD tray (hence the "watching a TV show" part). And its about 3 months old...so no, its not old.

It could be a scratched disk. Try a different media player and see if you still have the same problem. Also if it isn't a brand new computer the drive might need to be cleaned, like if the computer is older than 3-4 months old. If I remember correctly disk drives are supposed to be cleaned like every month or so but people rarely do.

Hi. The CD tray or the Hard drive? Look at power management and increase the time if it's the HD.
