BSOD when I move my computer or touch the lid

deontologist · 01 Dec 2017

I have a Lenovo laptop. Its case has been falling apart. It is a common issue. It got so bad that you could see the motherboard when opening/closing the laptop--the entire hinge and surrounding areas are FUBAR. I duct taped the area back together so you wouldn't see the guts of the laptop whenever I opened the lid.

Anyway, I've noticed that BSODs are becoming increasingly common as I move the laptop around. It almost never BSODs when it is sitting on my desk. But when I take my laptop to the bathroom, or to bed, or press down around the hinge area, it BSODs.

I have attached the dump files.

I have a feeling that it has to do with the wireless card. I have experienced BSODs before, and someone online suggested that I update my wireless card driver. When I opened the laptop for inspection earlier today, I noticed that the side of the laptop lid that is messed up has the wireless antennas. I decided to just pull out the entire wireless card and used electrical tape to wrap up the connectors on the antennas, which I left inside. So far, so good, but I also haven't moved my laptop around much.

I use a hosts file editor and purposely added all these entries to block ads.

It looks a bit suspicious in combination with

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\KMSpico	Public:Start Menu\Programs\KMSpico	Public

Yes, I use that program, and while I don't doubt that KMSpico has played around with my hosts file too, what does this have to do with the bsod?
