If it happens only when you play back media on the DVD-ROM drive, then try the following:

-Clean the drive's lens.

-Connect a different power lead to the drive.

-Install a different known working IDE cable.

-Connect the drive to IDE 1 as Slave(assuming it's currently connected to IDE 2 as Master).

If none of those fix things, then install the drive on another system if possible.
If the same thing happens there, then the drive is probably defective.
