With the computer turned off and unplugged, open the case and reseat the
ribbon cable and power supply connector going to the drive. Restart.
Does the problem still occur? If yes, then swap out the drive for a
known-working one. Problem fixed? If yes, throw out the original drive.
Let us know what happens after doing this.

Does this happen also with plain music CDs?

While that may seem logical, a defective CD may get a totally different
reaction from various machines depending on the drive and the build. Every
Windows installation has a collage of services and drivers running
simultaneously so that virtually no two computers are identical.

What you should also consider is your power supply may be overwhelmed and
slowly dieing. When you insert a CD and it spins up, it overloads. As you
described, it continues until you remove the CD.
To test this, try attaching a USB hard drive or other USB device(s) to put
additional strain on the supply. A solid state USB device won't tax the PS
enough, though. Preferably, attach something with a motor.
