I found my PC unable to post and displaying error code "C". Some quick google searches suggests that this means it's a CPU related issue. I'll describe some of the troubleshooting steps I've attempted so far. Removed CPU to inspect board for bent pins, all pins were fine. Slowly unscrewed CPU cooler. Others have had the same error code resolved by slowly untightening their overtightened CPU cooler so I tried the same. Didn't work. Replaced 8 pin power cable. I came across this and tried reseating and then replacing the 8 pin CPU power connector, as it came with a spare. Also didn't work. When completely removing the 8 pin power connector, the same error is shown. Does this mean the issue is related to the power supply?

Gotcha, thanks!

I did the same thing, will this be a problem/how did you fix it?

Wow that's a pretty exhaustive list o.o I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find what I want there Thanks everyone!

Interesting, probably gonna wait for reviews but that seems to fit my needs really well, thanks!

Yes

I originally posted on /r/SuggestALaptop/ but I'm just looking for more options Total budget and country of purchase: US ~$1,500 somewhat flexible Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Price/performance is not important, battery life is important, ~6hrs+ preferably How important is weight and thinness to you? Weight is important,under 5 lbs is a must, less than 4 lbs would be preferred. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13-15 inch is fine. 17 inch is too big. Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. No, not on the laptop. I have a desktop for resource intensive programs If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? I game occasionally, but mostly older non graphically intense games such as civ5, LoL, mount and blade, ftl. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? tactile, not obnoxiously loud keyboard is important because I plan to use it in lectures. Touch screen is a not important, I doubt I'll ever use it. Who uses optical drives in <current year>? Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I can wait until January 29th(or a bit afterwards tbh). Aesthetics are also a nontrivial factor, I'd rather not have something that looks too gamery. Because aesthetics can be subjective, some laptops that I think look nice are white xps 13, mercury white razer blade, matebook x pro, thinkpad x1 carbon. Unfortunately, x1 carbon and xps 13 dont have a dgpu option, razer has questionable qc and is expensive af, matebook also has a long list of known issues that I'd rather not deal with.
