HP Elitebook 830 G8

I have a conundrum. With me are two laptops  HP Elitebook 830 G8 and HP Elitebook 840 G8. They have the same problem.

When I physically move the laptop while it's turned on, it freezes. Eventually, a BSOD with a stop code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE appears. After that I usually have to do a power reset, otherwise it won't turn on. What I have tried: reseating RAM, upgrading BIOS and Drivers. The only thing that stops it for a little while is removing and reinserting the battery. One laptop has already seen sent to warranty two times. Yet they didn't discover any issues. It passed all the tests.

Has this happened to anyone before? What could be the issue?
