Slight pressure on processor causes crash

My laptop is an Asus X50R.

Recently whenever i put pressure or lifted the laptop from the bottom it would show a green colour on the monitor over whatever i was doing and freeze.

I took a panel off the bottom and re-inserted the RAM, made sure everything was screwed down correctly. The i started it up and put slight pressure on all the components, and if slight pressure is placed up the processor the computer will crash.

Does anyone think taking the processor out and re-seating may solve the problem? Or maybe it might require a new processor?

Thanks for any ideas.

 

Reseating it may help. Unfortunately, it may require either a new processor or a new motherboard. Those kinds of problems are usually caused by cracked traces, and it is very hard to pin those down, but it's actually more likely that you'll need a new motherboard than a new CPU if reseating it doesn't fix the issue.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. Upon further inspection i realised it is in fact the a plastic part of the case inside which is screwed into when the plastic covers is on.

This seems to have put pressure on that part of the motherboard for a considerable amount of time and must be affecting the components underneath a thin black plastic sheet on the motherboard itself.

I guess i could some how try and cut the plastic underneath to reduce pressure, or create something alongside to support it.

Or just get a new motherboard

It seems to be pressure placed upon the graphics card underneath the keyboard. If i was to buy a thick thermal pad does anyone think this may counter the opposite pressure?
