Thinkpads Forum

It's a rare occurrence (3 times in 2 months), but never happened in 4 years with my T60p. What can cause the computer to suddenly shut down?

The only thing I can think of is overheating, though the shutdowns have occurred when I'm doing non-intensive stuff like web browsing or light word processing. When I've taxed the system, it's never had a problem.

Or maybe my AC adapter/power source is the culprit. Maybe a surge of some kind?

Wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 with a Toshiba SSD if that matters.

Thanks!

Great resource! Updated the BIOS, will stick with the current video driver for now (since everyone thinks version 1855 is the most stable), and update if necessary.

Thanks again!
