How do you know it's trying to read the CD-ROM when you're just
scrolling a page ?  Is it spinning-up the CD-ROM drive or something ?

I'd be suspicious of a loose connection between the CD-ROM drive and
the bus: it keeps thinking you've put a new CD in it.  Looks like
you'll have to get it repaired (under warranty, of course).
