M570TU overheated, now BSOD

So not long after my graphics card died and I replaced it with one bought from ebay, I have a whole new problem...
I have known for sometime now that occasionally when I close the lid on my laptop, it does not actually go into sleep mode, but keeps on running. So yesterday, I was in a rush to go to the library and so I closed my lid, stuck it into the tight laptop compartment of my backpack and left. An hour later, when I reached the library, I realized my back was sweating and I realized that my laptop had been on and was overheating. It was burning to the touch, I would estimate greater than 100F. So I quickly took it out, set the fans to max and after a few mintues it BSODed and I restarted it. I then proceeded to use it for an hour reading a PDF file. After doing that with no problems, I spent the next 5 hours doing non computer related things. I then went to a friend's room and played half a game of dota before everything crashed (auto restart) and then spent a hour on web surfing with no issues. I then took it back to my room, and this is where my major problems began. At first I would get a BSOD after 10 min or so of web surfing, than the problem became even more severe as sometimes Windows wouldn't load after POSTing. In the times it did boot, I could rarely make it past the loading screen before it BSODed.

Right now, I think the biggest possible culprit is the RAM because I received similar issues on my desktop and I isolated the problem by removing 1 of the 2 RAM modules and when one was removed the computer worked normally, while having the other module in made it BSOD all the time. I'm going to try to do the same test on my laptop and hopefully that is the issue because idk if I want to spend more than 50 bucks on repairs after my 400 dollar GPU... I also don't know if I can wait a whole month till CeBit for a new laptop... which probably won't be clevo.

Edit: um so... I took it apart and saw that a ram module was tilted up (like you tilt it up to remove it) and so I pushed it down and snapped it into place. So far its been running Dirt 2 ok for like 10 minutes. Could that have been the problem?

 

it could of been the problem. depends if it bsod again.
download Who Crashed and that may give you the answer if it does it again.

 

hmm...

if you make sure that the RAM was re-seated properly, that would work.

also, make sure to set your Power Options for the system to Sleep when the lid is closed.

Also, make sure to do a CHKDSK C: /F after any crash to make sure that no HDD errors are still present.

 

Yeah, it was probably the ram as I haven't crashed since then. Could the heat have made the RAM unseated? Thanks for the help.
