Hi, please help me!!

Acer Aspire 5630
Intel Core 2 Duo T5200
Nvidia GeForce Go 7300
2 gig ram

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

stop: 0x0000000a (0x00000000,0x00000001c,0x000000001,0x80500946)

I downgraded to XP sp3 from Vista, have been having many problems, but I think I corrected most of them.

Right now, the BSOD comes on when the laptop is moved. Laptop is plugged in and battery is installed.

I checked the hdd, ran memtest, etc., nothing wrong.

Thank you.

'Right now, the BSOD comes on when the laptop is moved.'


This means that it will work fine as long as it isn't physically moved?

Yes, the laptop appears to be problem free when it is still. Also, I noticed that when u first boot it up, and move it around, it doesn't get the BSOD. However, as the computer has warmed up, then it crashes. I have used speed fan, hw monitor to check the temperature, and also ran a laptop cooling pad, but it still gets that BSOD when the laptop is moved.

From that description, it sounds like a bad hard drive bearing.

Run a manufacturers' diagnostic.

I ran the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test - full analysis and the exerciser. No problems.

I then rebooted the laptop. XP loaded, and then I went to put the laptop down, and then I got this BSOD.

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your compter. ...(no irql error)

all very interesting you might consider reloading Vista to see if it returns to normal ops sitting still or moving!

OK - if the drive is good, then you likely have a loose ribbon or other cable connection. There aren't that many actual moving parts in a laptop (possible the cpu heatsink is loose or the fan has problems though).

This would mean disassembly and checking.

Before that, check temps using Everest or similar and literally, with the display showing them, move the laptop.


Outside of that, I have no ideas.
