I have a Lenovo Y400. Windows 10. Intel i7-3630QM CPU, 8GB RAM
Please let me know if you need further information about my laptop.
Essentially what happens is if I set the laptop down on any soft surface, or pick it up by it's fan side (left), the fan will speed up, screen will freeze, and after 2-3 seconds will lose all power.
I have taken it in to a local repair shop, and they were unable to identify the problem. It should be noted that I cannot recreate the shutdown at will. It happens about 50% of the time when the aforementioned scenarios take place.
I have kept track of the temperature of the laptop, and there is no indication that it is an overheating problem. I can play games all day that I know heats the laptop up significantly without issue. The laptop has never crashed when noticeably hot.
I have run disk checks that have all come back clean. The laptop is virus free to my knowledge, and runs perfectly otherwise. I am guessing some sort of physical connection is the issue, but I haven't been able to identify any noticeably loose wires.
In the Event Viewer, I can find no "culprit" that stands out as being the problem, although my computer science knowledge might be too limited to identify what might be the issue.
I realize it's a long shot to identify this issue over the interwebs, but I've had several "professionals" look at it, and they can't replicate the issue or figure out its cause. I thank you in advance for your kind responses.
