someone who knows what's causing this issue or with same experience?

Hey, my HP Pavilion 15 cs2315ng has an annoying hardware problem.

Under certain movements like lifting it up or moving it from my lap to the table, the notebook might black out completely.

The screen shows red artifacts for a split second then it's gone. The behaviour varies slightly as sometimes the diagnostic LED on caps lock blinks regularly and sometimes it does nothing.

If I want I can recreate this hardware fail within the first 5 minutes by moving it randomly and a bit exaggerated, at least when it's in battery mode. While charging it seems to be less likely, but this is just a theory, at least that's my recap for today.

Consequently this is more of an issue while using it outdoors or on the train and not when it's placed at a fixed location.

Before I had this issue, a couple of times the desktop froze while doing nothing or returning from sleep mode.

This still happened to me a few days ago and I was trying to find a pattern. So now I suspect the battery.

Is it explainable that this black out only happens in battery mode and the equivalent while charging is a OS freeze?

I was already in a local repair shop but their diagnosis led to nothing and they couldn't recreate the issue.

But I tell you, it happens more frequently than I'd wish.
