As of about 5 days ago, my laptop gives me blue screens. The blue screens only occur when I pick up the laptop a certain way and move it (esp. If i have to move it from the couch to the coffee table). I will get a BCCode 124 which seems to be video card related, and all the solutions I find online have to do with usually a video display driver of some sort. Well, from how the blue screen is triggered, it does not sound to me that it is software related. It almost feels like there is something loose inside my laptop and just moving it causes to lose connection and triggers a BSOD.
Also sometimes after this occurs, when I power my laptop back on, the LED lights and CPU fan will spin, but the GPU fan does not spin and the display does not turn on.
So the only way for me to really use this laptop right now is to leave it stationary without ever moving it while in use. Sometimes moving it very very slowly and carefully works fine, but it's a pain. I've been trying to isolate down whether it is a certain part of the laptop I hold that causes it or the angle it is being held, but I'm unable to reproduce it this way. I've never dropped it and have always babied it.
If anyone knows the best solution for me, please help me. I am a tech at my current job, but I deal with mostly software issues, and the hardware issues I deal with are on desktops. Normally I would reseat the video card and check the connections, but it definitely doesn't look nearly as easy on this laptop, even after watching YouTube videos. I've never taken apart a laptop other than upgrading my RAM and putting in a new SSD. I'm out of warranty and prefer not sending it in to ASUS, especially if it's not really the video card that is bad, but something really simple anyone can tell me. Please help me! Thanks!
