T61P BSOD Tip...
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 5:39 pm
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.
