CD Writer too smart by half?

One of my friend's CD Writer tray comes out when the computer boots. On pushing the toggle swith for insert/eject, it goes in and after about 15 seconds comes out again. If a CD is inserted then it remains inside and reads/ writes without problem.

Sometime it decides by itself that enough is enough and goes in by its's own accord. Is it some virus?
