Problem Ejecting

[Mooclan]

Hi, uhm... This is kinda odd, since this isn't a Tech Forum or anything, but I figured I'd try here anyways. It's not MC-related so I'm putting it in off-topic, although it can affect me when I'm playing MC. (Or any other game)

I get this message several times in a few hours. It happens at completely random times, even with nothing plugged in, running, or anything else (except the power cord)
If I'm playing a video game or on the forums, it'll sometimes pop up and force me to minimize the game - because I simply cannot avoid it, as it automatically tabs out.
I have a laggy, old computer, so.. well, let's just say I've died more than once because of this. Or rather, a few hundred times.


Any idea what could cause this, how I could fix this? I've done google searches, looked at my settings, and did searches within my computer and whatnot, and I've turned up nothing.

Halp? D:

Have you tried turning it off, and turning back on again?

Yes, it's been going on for weeks. (And I know you're kidding as well, but I might as well mention it.)

Did you check your devices list? Maybe there's a device on your computer that you didn't know of...

I did not read that as "ejecting" at first.

I don't think I want to know. Oh. wait. Aussie just told me. .-. I SWEAR THIS IS A SERIOUS THREAD ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS GIVING ME SERIOUS COMPUTER ISSUES

Did you check your devices list? Maybe there's a device on your computer that you didn't know of...

Thanks, I'll do that now.

Alright, tell me if you find anything.

Me too huehuehue

Moo, you should probably consult a sexual health clinic and not the MCSG forums for this kind of issue.

Okay, well, I went through all of my devices and whatnot, and I found absolutely nothing with that name, or anything similar. I had also previously done some similar searches.

I suggest that you check your DVD slot in you hard drive. If there is a disk in there remove of it.

Nope, empty. I have no SD Cards, USB devices, or discs. (etc)

I also recall something about it saying that it's a hard drive (I think I only have one, it's a laptop.) that it's trying to eject a few times, however I haven't gotten that message yet today so I wasn't able to screenshot it and I don't remember the exact details.
also, I can get the message multiple times in a row (That is, I can leave my computer on and they'll sometimes stack, so I have to close 2 or 3 of them. They don't appear at the same time, though.)

Thanks, I'll look into that as well.
