X301: blue screeen if tilted

If my x301 is not put levelly, or if I carry it while I walk, or if it's tilted in some way, it will have a higher chance to get blue screen of death, or the screen will get all messed up with the graphics totally broken.
Is this hardware problem or maybe just a software glitch?
Anybody familiar with this problem?
Thanks very much,
Alex

If you move the machine and the graphics break up and you get BSODs, it is a hardware problem.

wow would this be a gpu coming lose problem.? didnt expect this to carry over from the t to x series but i guess the thinner the laptop the more easily do they flex..
this is a hardware problem for sure..

The X301 has an integrated GPU, so if it's coming loose - it's the whole northbridge.

It could be a loose cable. Things to take into account is with the thin casing the cable could be pinched or maybe the pinching has done something to the cable. OR as others have pointed out could be the board is somehow damaged. Should always keep notebooks on flat surfaces. See what tech support says.
