GPU BSOD When Laptop Moves

[Gammahooch13]

I have a lenovo legion y520 and it about 5 years old. I have been having the BSOD everytime I move it during gaming. I may move not by much and it crashes the GPU (GTX 1060 max-q). Any ideas on a fix on this or is a new laptop purchase in the future?

sound like a loose connection. is the gpu able to detach from the mainboard? if so, might just need to re-seat and/or clean that connection, and that might solve it. if it's soldered directly to the mainboard, could be a connection is broken/making poor contact, which may or may not be fixable with the right tools/skills. first thing i would try doing(if your comfortable with your abilities), is open it up and reseat all of the parts and connections(ram, power connectors, ssd/hdd, gpu if applicable, ect.). do so at your own risk though.

It's soldered on the motherboard and checked the connections. The only reseatable connections is the ram and m.2. I am trying to figure it out but it might be unfixable at this point. I never had this problem, so it was a new one to me.

Does this happen even if the power adapter is not plugged to the laptop?

Try unplugging your laptop and start playing game and move it. Maybe your power jack is broken which is causing short.
