Hi, could be a faulty latch. These tend to wear over time. Sound almost like
a faulty intermittent contact spring. YMMV.
My Windows 7 installation has no such problem so I think this is not
contact fault. Is there any file where I can check that system get the
closing event or not? As low level as possible.
