I did this and there was no change.
I don’t believe it’s a software or driver issue.
I also installed some Linux distros to see if it changed the behavior.
I installed Lubuntu, Linux Mint, MX Linux and the behavior is the same.
Everything points to a hardware (or BIOS?) issue, especially because when the CPU cools down, the boot is normal.
My suspicions continue to be BGA solder on the CPU/GPU, capacitors (or some other component) with values altered by the temperature or some temperature sensor (on the CPU?) providing incorrect readings at boot. I’ve been monitoring it during operation and the readings are normal.
Is there anyone who’s an expert in hardware who can give their opinion?
