    Hi there,

    I have purchased T61 recently and faced so many problems with it. From time to time, without any specific reason, a blue screen appears and alerts me that the need to be shut down. I have frequently tried to restore the system and not managed doing so, as upon rebooting, it encounters the error "loading the operating system". Sometimes it is not possible to wake up the system from hibernate or sleep modes and I have to reset the laptop. I was wondering if anyone has any idea what might be wrong with the laptop. The operating system is windows vista ultimate.

    Thanks,
    Unsatisfied

    Chances are it is Vista or Turbo Memoty. Search the Forum - lots of info on this.

    It's not likely Turbo Memory, considering the "Can't load operating system" error. More likely a hard drive problem.

    At least tell us what specs you're running. How are we supposed to help you without details as important as what hardware you have?
