    I've had several issues with my M1210 recently.

    Specs are:

    T7200
    80GB Seagate
    2GB RAM
    XP Pro
    GeForce 7400Go

    I've ran check disk and checked the event log and nothing of importance. I've run Prime95 as well as Memtest86 and neither brought forth errors.

    Up to date on Windows Updates and no idea what the deal is...

    Also updated all the drivers but no success - it comes and goes for no apparent reason. Any known issues with the M1210 that sound familiar?

    After several reboots it will finally boot into Windows :(

    Just to follow up on this thread, I know it has been a while...

    It was a known driver issue conflict in Windows XP between the bluetooth and sound card. You can try running the microsoft bluetooth stack drivers instead of the widcomm which work better however don't fully resolve the issue.

    I ended up getting them to swap the M1210 for an M1330.
