Hello everyone,
So recently I was using my laptop when out of the blue (bad pun) I got a BSOD talking about a physical memory dump. When I tried to restart it I receive a message saying reboot and select proper boot device. Some quick googling makes it sound like it could the hard drive. The thing that is confusing me the most, however, is that once in a while it will boot up and act like nothing is wrong. Any kind of small bump will cause it to blue screen again. Just closing the lid is enough to cause it. Could it be a loose cable or something like that?
A bit of background: Asus g50vt running vista 64. The laptop is about 3 years old but the hard drive is only a year as it was replaced. A couple months ago the motherboard was also replaced. If you need anymore info let me know.
Thanks in advance!
