Hello everyone! So basically the title. I've already replaced the ram and tried running a different OS and still have this issue. The computer passes all of the onboard diagnostics. Just wanted to see if anyone else has encountered anything like this. Thanks!

As far as I know about T440p (I dont have it, but my friend does) there's so many issues with the hardware. From my experience on my friend's laptop and searching on every Thinkpad forum, every problem start arised when owner updating the BIOS on Windows with Lenovo Vantage.

The easiest solution for me about every major problem like this is flashing the BIOS with OG BIOS that you can search or request it on every Thinkpad Forum who own T440p, and flashing Coreboot or Libreboot. There's some problem like battery threshold cannot be set anymore need to tinkering on the hardware that I saw on Github (I don't save the link, but you can easily search that with this keyword).

That's pretty disappointing. I bought it because of it's "bulletproof" reputation or at least that's what I've heard. I think I only got two years out of it. It was used but you know. It looks like I can get a new motherboard for $30 or so but I'm not quite sure that I feel like tearing into it that much, especially if they're known to have issues
