Hey everyone! You may remember me posting about a week ago about my t440p that would hard freeze after a couple minutes. I’m please to report that the problem seems to be resolved! So because this issue seemed to mostly happen while watching videos I suspected there was something wrong with the onboard graphics. Initially I was under the impression that the graphics chip was on the motherboard but then I learned it was built into the CPU itself. So I bought used CPU for $9 shipped on ebay and here I am typing my success story. By the way, this was like the easiest CPU to replace in anything. In the end was it the CPU or the graphics, I don’t know. But its working now!

    CPU replacements are really stupidly easy on the T440p, you literally just pull off the bottom. I wish the CPU would be that easy to replace on my T540p…
