Do a BIOS recovery using the jumper. You’ll have to go to download the recovery BIOS from Intel.

Edit: didn’t read the full post. You can turn off the other LED in the bios.Youll need a display to know what’s going on and to debug. If no storage is present, it usually boots to PXE boot or a screen that says no boot device found.

This is so edgy

100% disagree that “most people” need more than a brick.

Windows is never responsible for this. It is errors in the EC code or BIOS wake timers. When you click shutdown, the system is powered off. Windows hands off execution to Bios code for shutdown after the cycling dots saying “shutdown”.

Those reports might effect investments from the smaller players, but the big names(Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are locked in a race to the finish line. So their investments will continue until one of them reaches the goal…[insert sunk cost fallacy here]…and I think we’re at least 1-2 years from there.

Edit: posted too soon

They don’t build the chips at all. They pay tsmc.

Couldn’t agree more. There is quite a bit of AI vaporware but NVIDIA is the real stuff and will weather whatever storm comes with ease.

but I believe that’s not correct anymore.

Why do you believe that? As far as I understand, other HW exists…but no SW to run on it…
