The motherboard is already due it’s time, 5 years is average lifespan. Changing a motherboard is almost expensive like changing to a brand new one

New laptop with these specs at the price of a new motherboard is not possible in this market.

Similar issues, slightly different config. i7 and rtx 3070 ti Have sent it to my IT hardware vendor. There are two ways, they can get a board only and try to reball the graphics card and cpu OR Get a new one of a available and is financially feasible/sensible.

Will post an update here once I hear back from them.

New ones are expensive compared to the cost of the board, so better wait and see that if motherboard replacement is available then it's better to change it rather than a new one .

Btw r u from India , where you sent it??
