    Hello there!

    Im having an issue with my Thinkpad T60p (2007-8LG) running Windows 7 32-bit.
    After a while, I am unable to use any USB port - no port responds if I plug in a mouse, keyboard or USB drive.
    If I then try to reboot normally in Windows, the computer gets stuck at "shutting down", and after 10 minutes or so it BSOD's with the following dump:

    ==================================================

    I reinstalled my computer little over a week ago, the same way I have always done, first with windows updates then using Lenovo system update, so im guessing my drivers aren't different from what i've used before.

    Is my thinkpad dying on me? :(

    Anything come up when you run PC-Doctor or System Toolbox if you've done you're updates? A Linux Live CD is another option. That would tell you whether it's hardware or software issue.

    Just tried lenovo toolbox/PC-doctor, and everything checked out fine. But currently my USB ports are also fine as it wasn't much time ago since i rebooted.
    I'll try run it again next time I loose USB control.
