Hi!

Thanks for your response. The model is X1 Yoga

Hi,

I will help you get started with support. One of my areas of expertise is ThinkPads but you haven't stated the model number of your Lenovo.

What Lenovo [model#] do you have? You can normally find the model number on the tag affixed to the bottom of the laptop.

Generically speaking I can tell you, from experience, you are likely seeing a hardware issue. The one simple-and-easy thing you can do, 1st, is make sure your BIOS is on the most-recent version.

If a firmware update doesn't fix the issue I would suggest posting on an appropriate manufacturer's forum--again I could provide more detail if I knew the model of your Lenovo.

Best of luck!
