    Hi guys,

    I am having a very annoying problem with my newly acquired X301.

    While trying to create the Product Recovery DVDs, i.e. burn for an extended period of time, the computer crashes consistently with the flickering graphics and sometimes it reboots by itself:

    I suspect that this is due to a malfunctioning motherboard, as I have tested the memory (using MEMTEST86), upgraded the BIOS and drivers to no avail.

    Have you experienced anything similar?
    Any ideas as to the cause?

    Sincerely,
    Martin Bundgaard
