- CraigJPerry 4y agothis is driving me NUTS with an old one i have. I never bothered to check why, i don’t use it often enough. It’s always been on my todo list to check into why. Thanks for the lead!
- petemir 4y agoI had that problem for so long with a T490, I thought I was going crazy until I noticed the crashes always happened when I grabbed the computer. Luckily just re-seating the RAMs with some tough love made the problem disappear...
- exitb 4y agoIt doesn't always happen. I learned that the Thinkpad I just bought is prone to that behavior, but after months of not-so-delicate use it never actually happened.
- tbran 4y agoI "fixed" this by using kapton tape to secure my RAM. Never had a problem. The mod in the link seems...risky. Kapton tape is the coppery-looking tape that tapes other stuff down inside a lot of electronics. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kapton+tape https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kapton+tape
