I hoped this is the case for other people who has this problem but 
unfortunately for me, the machine will lock up regardless of how long 
it's been on if I picked it up. It even refused to boot if I hold it at 
an angle and needed to have a flat surface in order to boot.

It seems that the machine does not like altitude changes and I can't 
afford to give it a flight test (eventhough I'd love to do that).
