Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a serious stability issue with my AMD Framework 13 and would really appreciate some help diagnosing it.
Some time ago, I briefly lifted the laptop while it was running, holding it with one hand at the bottom-right corner. Immediately, the laptop restarted.
Since then, I’ve been getting frequent blue screens, and even after a clean Windows installation the system quickly develops disk errors that prevent Windows from booting.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
SSD replaced with a brand-new drive, issues persist
MemTest86 ran for several days, no RAM errors
Clean Windows reinstall, newest drivers, newest BIOS, after a short time I again get storage-related errors and corrupted system files
No obvious physical damage from outside
At this point I’m wondering if the mainboard may have been damaged, maybe a power rail, storage controller, or some solder joint that was stressed when the chassis was “flexed”.
Questions:
Could a brief flex from lifting the device cause this type of intermittent crash/disk corruption?
What internal components or connectors should I inspect?
Is there any diagnostic I can run to confirm whether the mainboard is failing?
Anything else I should check before assuming the board is dead?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
