Hey guys...
I'm having a very weird issue with my laptop as of two days ago. I notice that sometimes, it just freezes and there is no activity. The CPU (I can hear it processing if it's quiet enough and I put it on High Performance profile), mouse, everything stops working and the screen just stays as it is. When I tilt the laptop at a certain angle (or sometimes place my wrist on the right side of the touchpad), everything comes back to life. I'm pretty sure this isn't a software issue... yesterday I reseated the CPU, RAM, hard drive and WiFi card, but I guess it didn't seem to do the trick. At first I thought maybe there's a faulty power connection, but that doesn't make sense because the computer still has the screen powered on when it 'freezes'
Any other ideas on why this might be happening?
Regards,
Apu
