A laptop should have a microswitch mounted to detect that the
lid is opened or closed. If the microswitch is broken and is
making an intermittent electrical contact, perhaps that is causing
the funny standby operation ?
If you look in Event Viewer, are there any errors shown in there ?
I would be looking for a software reason for the problem, by looking
in the Event Viewer.
You could also try removing some of your added hardware, such
as the webcam. If some of your add-in hardware has a problem,
perhaps that causes the flaky operation.
