T500 Display driver problem on Vista 64

[jap@tks]

Has anyone seen this problem?

I am running Vista 64 SP1 on a new T500. Every once in a while (but at least 5 times now) the display starts to flicker off then come back on again, then a message appears on the Windows Taskbar saying something about the Display Driver has recovered from not responding then it happens again (flicker flicker) then it is dead!

I have not been able to narrow it down to any specific thing I am doing at the time. I am not running any fancy games, just normal Windows business apps. I am using an extended monitor so that it uses both the LCD screen and the monitor as one, but I think it has also happenned without this being the case (just the LCD screen alone).

When I reboot the machine it knows that it has crashed but boots in normal mode fine. Does anyone know what can be done about this?

Thanks,
Joseph

Perhaps this thread on the official Lenovo forums is of use to you:

Yes, that is it! Thank you.

I guess I should have searched harder before posting but after I looked at the lenovo support driver download page I started with ThinkPads.com right away. I did not know lenovo had a forum too. In any case, my faith in lenovo is slowly dwindling.

Thank you again.
