Laptop Crashing/Freezing when Bumped/Shifted
Hey Guys,
I've been struggling with an issue on my HP Pavillion Laptop.
Ryzen 7 5825U, 16GB Ram, Radeon Graphics.
About once every couple of days, my laptop turns off, freezes in place (screen artifacts a tiny bit, then freeze on a single frame until rebooted), or BSODs with an awful noise. (screeching, static, etc. haven't had the chance to properly record it). The cause? Anything from lightly bumping my laptop stand, shifting my position in bed, etc. Its happened for almost as long as I've had it, but it doesn't necessarily have a thin bendy frame. Assuming its hardware, any obvious fixes (faulty battery, reseating something on the mobo?)
