man, this thing is driving me crazy. i got it w/ a downgrade to xp and had a lot of bsods - all kinds of errors, so i called lenovo and they sent me the discs for vista biz, installed it and again, new errors.

funny thing is is that it will not error w/ memtest for 24hrs straight or prime95, so i am kind of thinking a software issue but wtf????

is anybody else having this issue? pretty bare bones install - their basic install + office 2k7 and thats about it. thinking about hitting the hdd w/ boot & nuke and then install from an oem xp disc since i got the serial from the xp install before i updated, but i have spent a lot of time on this....very annoying 🙁

did i get a lemon?

and i got it to replace a t42 that is ~3yrs old, still using the t42 - should have just bought a new batt for it 🙁
 
Nah... Run their system update tool in the ThinkVantage program menu.

Update the bios, video, power management, storage drivers, and networking.... *if you didn't attempt that already.

The Montevina systems for all vendors were a nightmare at product launch.... There were a ton of updates weekly to stabilize them.
 
yes to all. just did another re-install back to xp to take it back to how i go it. i had updated everything when i got it, but now i will leave it alone, update some stuff and then try it out for a while, if all good, then install more.

i have spent ~40hrs on it already between different installs w/ the hdd in either ahci or copmatabilty/legacy mode and still have the issues. also did a plain jane oem xp (not lenovo, just a ms disc) to see and still had a few issues....

in the last 13 or so years of me dealing w/ computers including the few years i had my own biz doing it on the side, i have never spent this much time w/ a machine, it is like a ghost error setup they have.

guess when you throw my time in there this is one expensive laptop 🙁
