Untimely window openings & "right-click"

Your hard drive is dying the soul ^^

Thank you for this answer. Is it an observation related to your experience? Can you give me more details on what makes you say that, I mean on the technical level.

Thank you

maybe the right-click button is having a problem. it should block
what did you mean by "unstable"?

This isn’t a mouse problem; the issue occurs with different mice.
Unstable: I opened three folders containing MP3s that I displayed on my desktop. As I moved from one folder to another with the mouse, it would inevitably hover over the MP3 files, and thus the right-click menus for each file would open as the mouse passed over them. So opening X windows, triggering audio players... a mess, basically.

and at the level of the right-click on the laptop (and not the mouse)

the same phenomenon using the computer’s touchpad. Just by hovering over the files, the “right-click” windows open.

For your information, I confirm that the phenomenon occurs after several hours of machine operation. It reproduces after a restart if we don’t wait for the machine to cool down a bit. The phenomenon is therefore, in my opinion, related to the temperature of the components. But which ones. CPU,? How to know?
I also observed that this ultimately also concerns the left click. Even just moving the mouse over a file or folder, the left or right click menus appear in an itempenstive way. Then when the machine gets worse, the left or right click windows appear spontaneously even without the mouse moving over them. The windows end up flickering as they open and close rapidly!! The machine freezes, then it’s difficult to access any menu, notably the restart one.
I reiterate that the fan is new, replaced two weeks ago. Nevertheless, after closer observation, by ear, it seems that this new fan undergoes cyclic slowdowns every about 4 seconds (we hear it function properly at full speed, then every ~4 seconds it slows the speed noticeably for about 2 seconds as if it were going to stop and it restarts. The cycles are sometimes longer) Strange, right???

I’m leaning more and more towards a hardware problem related to cooling. But since the fan is new, it isn’t coming from it; the truth must lie elsewhere, but where?

There you go, I hope that with these additional details my problem will be clarified.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You should see if you can disable the TOUCHPAD of the computer to determine whether the overheating of the device might be the cause.
