locking up for about 30 seconds

#1 Post by AbeW » Fri Jan 21, 2011 3:28 pm

Hi,
I have a single core X100e notebook and I have the following problem.
At least 3 to 4 times a day the notebook freezes up for about 30 seconds. Then it continues like nothing happens.
I looks like the processor stops working but it always starts up again after the 30 sec time interval. I never have to restart it.
I down loaded at the Lenovo website the latest driver and bios package (1.22) but it is still doing it.
Can anybody guess what is happening?
Thanks,
Abew

I'd keep task manager open on my desktop and look at tasks and CPU utilization while the freeze occurs. Perhaps there's a task or program causing this. Also, I noticed your other thread ref. Lenovo toolbox stopping...so try uninstalling it. Perhaps it's related to this issue.

I had an issue with random freezing as well, but seemed to go away when I installed this:

In lieu of the Generic AHCI driver that Windows 7 put on (retail 7, not preload).

However, my APS doesn't work, which may or may not be related.
