BSOD Fix on German Thinkpad.de forum Please Help Understand
http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/3815-B ... WORK-QUEUE...

Even when I read the translation using Google Chrome translation I am unable to understand
what was happening and what he did to fix it.

Chrome also offers several alternative translations and its still not clear.

Can anyone who understands German please help? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

The whole saga started here..

I did not have any issues as such working 2 HDDs running Win XP & Win 7 (swapping as I needed).

Then my machine started locking/ freezing at bootup.

At first I thought it was Windows based issue so on two separate HDDs that I use where I have WinXP & Win 7x64. Both seem to freeze/lock at certain point when booting up.

I tried every thing including:
- Safemode etc.
- Bootlog mode
- Debugging mode
- DOS based PC Doctor Bootable CD
- Memtest86/+ etc.
- System Restores (on both..Win XP HDD1 and Win 7 HDD2)
- Bunch of Bootable Diagnostic tools (I am wondering if there's some kind of better Hardware Diagnosis tool than PC Doctor and/ or Thinkvantage Toolbox)

I was getting Multicore misconfigured & SMBIOS test failed like this LINK -
http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo- ... t61-3.html
Read all of it and I seem to have done everything but its not fixed yet.

After a night of running whole bunch .. Windows came up ONCE.
That time I ran Running ThinkVantage Toolbox (newer replacement for PC Doc)
It showed Multicore as a Misconfigured and suggested I power down and reboot fresh and run again which fixed the Misconfigure.
It showed everything as ALRIGHT! except SMBIOS.

When I looked up SMBIOS I found the PC Doctor link that says its not an issue.

Well.. I figured this was fixed.

Worked for a day..

Next day... Same issues. Now, SMBIOS seems to have flared up again.

You are aware that this ancient article about an XP issue on a T43 is from half a decade ago (14/01/2006), are you?

Bottom line is, that nobody reached to understood what the actual cause of the error was, and the original poster finally did a repair installation to "successfully" get rid of the issue. The issue seems to have been caused in first place by installation of a wrong driver (IBM Bluetooth/ATI X300) on a T43 2668-72G, which was performed in safe mode, but couldn't be undone in safe mode because the IBM Software Installer doesn't want to run in this context. No idea if this would be of any help for your X61T, though.

You might want to boot up in safe mode and try to read up what caused the error in the system logs. Other than that, being a 99,9% Linux user, i have no further idea how to help you here.
