Dell Vostro 1310, Close lid, Freeze

I just installed arch on my old Dell Vostro 1310.
It is a very fresh and simple install. The only packages I have installed are wget and sshd.
I.e I have no acpid running.
I have set HandleLidClose to ignore in logind.conf, but when I close the lid something happens and the laptop freezes.
ssh access also dies, and fans stop, so it is not just the screen.

What could be the issue here?

[EDIT]

Just noticed a strange workaround. If I have an active SSH connection to the machine, I can close the lid without problems.
If I close the ssh connection while the lid is closed, it is also still fine. But if I close it without any SSH connection, it freezes.
