Hi Community,
I have the HP Pavilion X360 15" laptop for just over a year now. I have since experienced blue screen of death issue many times when I have the AC power charger plugged in, particularly when a video is on. It is perfectly fine with battery only. I searched around on the website and found many people having the same issue but no clear answer/solution is given. The laptop was diagnosed in a Geek Squad repair store, saying it might be problem with the motherboard. So have two questions for answer or information:
1. Is there any successful fix of this issue?
2. I tried to use the USB-C port to charge the laptop but didn't work. The user manual says the USB Type-C connector is for charging computer battery as well. Is it because the output power current is not enough? Should I use a USB C PD adapter and chord to charge the laptop?
Thanks,
James

Hi Sandytechy20, thanks for the reply.
The message with the blue screen starts from typical "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart...". I remember a sentence like "critical process died". This is the first time I encountered the blue screen which doesn't restart to the login window.
For your information, I sent the laptop to Best Buy, diagnosed, activated and installed Window 11. But the BSOD issue is not solved.
Since the laptop passed the warranty period and the problem persists. I hope I can buy a USB type C charger to charge with the type C connector to avoid the BSOD while connected with AC plugged in. The laptop is HP Pavilion x360 convertible 15-dq2000. If you know something about this please advise.
Thanks,
James
