update: "Hardware watchdog driver for the AMD/ATI SP5100 chipset. The
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a watchdog timer that will reboot
the machine after its expiration. The expiration time can be configured
with the "heartbeat" parameter." To compile this driver as a module,
choose M here: the module will be called sp5100_tco.

...so it is something we can live without

lsmod | grep sp # to see running module: sp5100_tco running, so...
in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom added the line 
blacklist  sp5100_tco 
# so the module does not get loaded ...and seems to solve the CD tray problem 
too...!
