I am not sure if this is applicable, but I have a Dell Inspiron 5510 and it exhibits this behavior on occasion. It has done this very infrequently since I purchased it a couple of years ago. The version of Linux does not seem to matter, I have seen it with both Pop and with Mint. I tend to stay...

The Launch was a little...
