Hello, welcome to the forum! I see you're dealing with an issue with your HP Elitebook 8460w. It sounds like you've overclocked it and then experienced some unusual behavior—like the power light flashing rapidly and the absence of fan or screen activity. You mentioned using throttle stop to boost performance, but now it's not working as expected. Since the laptop has no batteries, it's likely a hardware issue. I recommend checking the motherboard connections, testing the power supply, and ensuring there are no loose components. If the problem persists, you may need professional assistance or a replacement part.

Stopping abruptly can be extremely risky without proper cooling and backup power. It seems the machine is likely reaching a high power limit.

Consider what you're experiencing and take steps to troubleshoot. If it's a motherboard issue, check connections, power supply, and reset components. Consult a repair guide or seek professional help if needed.
