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!
Mine would do this. It was a t440s. Had something to do with Firefox. Running Wayland. Corresponded to a kernel update every so often.
My T440p had WiFi issues that would eventually cause a hard lock. Sadly it’s not easy to change the hardware because you have to use a whitelisted module (or change the whitelist, which is also a pain).
Not sure if that’s at all related though, plenty of other possibilities.
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).
So it seems it has something to do with video playback or at the very least YouTube. I was just troubleshooting now and I was able to play stardew valley for around 30 min or so. I close out of the game, open a YouTube video, and it freezes in about two minutes

I don’t really think so as it did the same thing running a bootable Linux mint drive with the current hard drive disconnected. Right now I just confirmed the fan is running so I don’t think it’s overheating or anything. Really strange
Apologies, I commented but missed thst you’ve already attempted an os switch. I guess deleting the comment didn’t work. #lemmyproblems
