    T400 BSOD Intel Mode

    I have a Lenovo T400 and every time I close the lid, the computer crashes (BSOD). I have Windows set to "Do Nothing" when I close the lid. Weird thing is that this only happens when I have my graphics on Intel mode. Everything works normally when I'm on my dedicated ATI card so this is really bizarre. I usually have my graphics on Intel mode to reduce heat/power consumption and I usually bring this computer to lecture halls so I really need this thing to stop crashing! Any help would be really nice guys! :D
    Also, all my drivers are updated and I tried to reinstall the graphics driver from the lenovo site... no success. I'm running a 64-bit version of Vista... shouldn't be a problem because this mishap just showed up a few days ago. It was fine for about 2 weeks.

    Alright, so I fixed the problem myself. I updated to Vista x64 SP2 and my problems seem to have gone away. I haven't gotten another BSOD and hopefully everything runs as it was intended. :D
