Title: Insert "WTF?!?!?!" Here.
Post by: Cobra on July 09, 2005, 08:36:16 pm
My computer's doing something really funky today. My CD tray has been ejecting itself by itself for no apparent reason. :wtf:

the first time it ever did this is when I uninstalled something called MathPlayer, then it started ejecting, and so i restored my computer to an earlier date. that worked, but now it's doing it again and this time i didn't do anything.

help? it would be pretty hard to play games when it does that. :(

Wow, that's almost as freaky as the metallic *do-doink-dooo*...*do-doink-dooo* that my old computer makes when it gets tempromental on me...in that situation, when i got angry with it, i just gave it a hard clunk on to top of the tower, try it, you'll find that the simplest solution is often the most personally gratifying...:p

I remember my old computer used to eject random burnt cds after spinning them up realy fast. The cd would litteraly hover out of the tray and fly across the room.

i'll say.

anyway, looks like the problem has passed for now. it'll probably come up again in about 4 months. :doubt:
