My X201 successfully goes into stand by, but will randomly restart an hour or so later. Anyone having this problem? Are there any fixes aside from formatting?

Thanks.

Have you tried looking at Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings, then disabling awake timers when you click the "Change Advanced Power Settings" link and look under the Sleep tab?

If that doesn't work then there may also be a similar setting in the Thinkpad Power Manager...which I don't have after clean installing Windows 7. Otherwise I don't know what to say.

Make sure that you have the latest version of BIOS installed, and try to update the video drivers to the latest version.
