Please answer the following questions if you have a T61 to help narrow down the culprit. Answer the question even if you do not have a BSOD issue.

Did you have BSOD problem or do you currently have BSOD problem with your T61? (yes/no)


Do you have turbo memory? (yes/no)


Do you have nVidia card? (yes/no)


What HDD do you have? (ie 7500RPM or 5400RPM and capacity)


Do you dock your T61? (yes/no)


Do you get BSOD while on battery power? (yes/no)


Do you get BSOD while plugged in (A/C power)? (yes/no)


Are you running Vista or XP?


If you had BSOD and "fixed" the problem, what worked? How long has it worked?


If I'm missing something please add to the question list.

I can point you to this
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=44036

I've already read that and this: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=43312

Which is what prompted the questionnaire. I figure if we can isolate what laptops the BSOD problem is occurring it can help to find the solution. So far from what I've read, the solution for one perdon's problem doesn't seem to be the solution for another. I think this information can only help.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. 5400rpm 120G
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. No
8. Vista Business
9. Fix -> this worked (iaStor, not iaStorV) http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/i ... 025783.htm
10. Uninstalled Active Protection System (which by itself did not fix the iaStor timeout / BSOD)
