Thread: Major Laptop Issue...ARRGGGHHHHH

Sounds like a MLB issue to me, but it could be heat related, if your feeling adventurous you could pull it apart, reseat the RAM and CPU, while your at it reapply the thermal grease on the heatsink and blast out any dust you find......

Also check the fans are actually operating

My old Acer have the same problem and was on the contacts between the screen and the main part. The hinges are the main problem in the Acers.
It is hard to open and closing the laptop? If you moove the screen a bit what happens?

If it is insured just claim accident insurance on it, for sure you have hit it some were
