CD-rom ejecting by itself!

[Uranium-235]

This is very odd. On my parent's computer. I see the read light come on every once in a while (for a very short time). And sometimes, the burn light will come on for like less then a second. and every once in a while, it will eject by itself.

I can't figure this out. I downloaded AVG virus scan free version (I'll probably get Norton 2003 very soon). It found no viruses.

could the CD-rom be going bad?

I'ts a Omega Zip-CD 650 (8x4x32) yeah it's pretty old. I have no idea what is going on here.

I'm not even sure how what this falls under, so I put it in the general board
