    I brought my m17x to school today for the first time, and when someone put some books down beside me hard it blue screened. Then I carried it downstairs while on but closed and it blue screened again.

    I've never done laptops before. Am I doing it wrong? Or is something wrong?

    It could also just be a loose internal connector, but I would try disabling the free-fall sensor first before opening your machine to look for physical issues.
