Live CDs and set up operating systems cause the laptop to pause about every minute.
I have an old Dell Inspiron 700m I'm attempting to run Linux on for experimentation. The machine arrived without a hard drive, so I'm connecting it via a 2.5 IDE adapter to an SD card with 128GB storage. The CD drive appears to be malfunctioning, causing IO errors when trying to boot from any CD. While I can start from a USB installer, Arch and Debian installations work smoothly. Once the OS is installed, the laptop enters a suspended mode roughly every minute. This behavior also occurs with a live CD like LMDE 5 32-bit; terminal output confirms it goes into suspension. After suspending for about three minutes, the system resumes normal operation. LMDE 5 fails to install properly and becomes unresponsive at some point, though I suspect that might be unrelated. Anyone have suggestions? My intuition points toward a hardware issue—perhaps something is defective or not functioning correctly under Linux. I've tried different power adapters and removed the battery, but I'm not sure it's related to power management.
