I know some people have been having this issue as well, or issues with BSOD's. Here's my take.

Most people (including me) have this problem when lmoving around the laptop when oin battery. The bug solution has been to install a new version of Matrix storage manager, and Turbo Memory drivers. I have done both of these and still experience freezing until I turned my active protection off, or throttled back the sensitivity to Low. What I think is happening is that even though windows knows not to write stuff out to the hard disc when the computer is paused, the turbo memory driver does not know any difference and tries to causing the computer to hang (which explains the time out errors in the event log viewer for the people receiving them).

So I feel its a compatibility issue between Active Protection and Turbo Memory on vista.

I don't know if anyone else has any insight.

Does the BSOD stop with turbo memory disabled?

The solution has been on this board for a while. It stops BSOD and freezes:

For me this fixed the timeout / BSOD problem:

* Disabling APS didn't fix it (tho may have eliminated other BSODs)
* Didn't need to uninstall Turbo Memory Driver

Remember to install the Intel Matrix Storage drivers and perform the above procedure.

That didn't seem to fix it for me.

I think you're spot on the money in your original post amattas. Unfortunately, if that really is the case, the only fix is to either

1) wait for a patch, either from Vista or IBM

2) switch to XP?

3) get a different machine without Turbo Memory?

A driver update is now available for Turbo Memory...
