My guesses would be a badly scratched CD that could cause this (think of scouring tile or glass before you cut it, same principle), the drive heated up from lack of ventilation, a failure of the laser, or a defective CD. It could also be any combination of these.
The CD was somewhat scratched, but I've had this CD for almost a year now and it obviously hadn't blown up before, so I don't think it's that it's defective. It could be that it is (or was) from the scratching, but I'm lead to believe that it's something from a moving part in the drive, perhaps the laser or something.
