    Hi all
    I bought a T430 a couple of weeks ago and it has this strange random screen freeze (see attached snapshots I made with my digi cam)
    and after about 10 seconds the laptop boots.

    has anyone encountered this ? I havent found any regularities to this behavior , it does happen though more during data streaming , such as watching Youtube.

    I like MAG monitors........

    Seriously, this could be a sign that something is wrong with your graphics processor so most like the systems board will need to be replaced.

    You have bad RAM (although the linked symptom would only make sense if you have bad RAM and you're using integrated graphics) or your GPU is its way out.

    Contact warranty support.

    I'm having the EXACT same problem with my new T430. Did you ever find out the cause of the problem?
