Hey up guys got an IBM thinkpad thats doin my nut in and wondered if anyones got a fix.
It'll run then all of a sudden freeze, the time it takes to freeze vary's, can be an hour can be 5 mins from boot. Tried RAM, reinstalled windows, reloaded drivers all to no avail anyone any ideas.
Cheers,

Does it do it also in Safe Mode or DOS Mode?

Is the cooling fan running?

I'll try it tomorrow in safemode and see what happens.

Could be overheating due to dust build up in the vents.

My t23 did it, a blast with the airline sorted it.

Could be a dodgy cpu fan, give it a blow outbut wedge something into the fan whilst blowing out to stop it spinning too fast.

Does it do it on battery or on charger or both?

Had an issue with my HP notebook where the charger circuit was intermittent causing it to trip a thermal fuse and switch off (not lock-up though).

Took out the heatsink fan assembly gave it a blow out, full of crap put some new thermal paste on the cpu seemed ok then started doing it again seems ok in safe mode. Ran checkdisk. no difference.
Getting ready to sling it now.
Does the same on batt and charger.
Cheers,
Bob
