T61P BSOD Tip...

[UpIn5mOk3]

Hey guys,
I've had crazy problems with my T61P involving the BSOD. In the beginning it was graphic intensive programs, leading me to believe that it was a faulty graphics chip since they had that recall and what not. After sending it back to Lenovo, they swapped out the motherboard, and surprisingly solved the problem. But I kept getting a BSOD every now and then, and every time I let Vista do its thing and check to see where the problem was, it would always come back saying it was the Intel Turbo Memory. So after disabling it, I would still get the [censored] BSOD. After some detective work, I realized that the BSOD would only occur when I moved my laptop. So I assumed it was the accelerometer and that [censored] Active Protection for the harddrive. So I turned the sensitivity down, but they still kept coming. I finally disabled it, and haven't been happier. Not a single BSOD since then. I don't have any important data on my main hdd to worry about dropping the laptop and losing something.

Hopefully this helps someone out. Feel free to let the topic drop if I was the only one experiencing this problem.

I can assure you that, unless your hardware is defective or the OS has some abnormal fault, that the Hard Drive Protection system does NOT cause BSOD's. Something else went wrong somewhere. ... JDH

Yea...I was afraid of that. Darn. I don't think it is the accelerometer because it functions normally. So I'm thinking it has something to do with the hard drive locking up and the OS having no idea what happened.
