Also, Lenovo doesn't make this style of machine and never really has as far as I know, outside of historically claiming the basic T-series was good enough for this work. (There's no ThinkPad today I would classify in this genre.) If your employ

The issue is that in my case it's intermittent and when I first got it one year after the purchase the User Manual had nothing on the problem. Now they updated the manual and say it's a "Processor failure": https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/latitude-15-5540-laptop/latitude-5540-owners-manua
