For the last month I've been having an odd problem. My DVD-ROM drive will click, then my PC will freeze up. No mouse activity, and the HDD light will be on. Nothing is in the DVD drive, no programs are running that should be trying to access it. The machine can be completely idle with no applications running and it will happen.

I have one IDE hard drive on the primary interface.
I have a CDRW as master and the DVD-ROM as slave on the secondary interface.

Anyone run into this before, or have any suggestions?
