I've Got a Compaq nx6325, Ubuntu is working great. My Cd drive is now spinning up every 5 minutes regardless if it has a cd in it or not.
When I am watching a video (flash like Hulu or something) it causes the video to bog down and skip.
If I am doing other programs (Open Office, file folders, etc) the same problem, causes the system to pause for a second as though a program is looking for media on a disk for some reason.

Any suggestions?

The last programs I added were Rhythmbox and Amarok.

I unloaded Amarok nothing changed.
I unloaded Rhythmbox and nothing changed.
Thought maybe one of these had something to do with it.

Thanks
