    I have an XPS M1530 with 32 bit vista home premium installed. When I have my computer on power saver mode and I close the screen and let it sit, for some reason exactly every 5 minutes the DVD drive makes the same clicking and whirring noise that it makes when I turn the computer on. It's almost like it goes into hibernate and keeps coming back out of it itself every 5 minutes, any way I can get it to just stay asleep when the lid is closed?
