More details

Per my best reflection, the hardware error occurs when I am using the laptop on its docking station. Here is what I observe:

  • While using the laptop as normal, the "freeze" will occur and I can hardly operate the laptop: mouse cursor won't move continuously and Alt+Tab won't be able to switch across two windows.
  • Shortly after (usually several minutes), things will go back to normal. Upon inspecting through the Performance tab in Task Manager, there had been no spike in anything, be it CPU, Memory or Disk.
  • When I open the View reliability history tool, I will find another entry of Windows Hardware Error
