Hello

We have several Lenovo T61 Thinkpads.
Some of our users have reported bluescreen problems after running wireless for a while and then when they get back to their desks inserting a LAN cable. Within 20 seconds the computer bluescreens and reboots.

We are running Windows XP Pro.

I will try to upgrade all drivers using System Update, but it would be nice to know if any of you people out there also has experienced this behaviour? And of course if any of you has a solution, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Simon

Set the computers not to restart after crashing and google the stop code.

And if you didn't know how to disable automatic restart upon error, it's in Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery Settings > Uncheck Automatically Restart.
