    My T61p just shipped to my dad's house (!!! :D ). I want him to test it before he brings it over to me. I remember there was a thread here somewhere about how to test Thinkpads to determine whether they have that dreaded graphics problem that causes them to freeze. There were a series of tests posted on there. Could anybody please post the link, I've been searching for this thread for 30 minutes already :confused:

    Sorry for the double post, I don't know why this is happening.

    Here is the thread from the official Lenovo forum. It is long but games such as Crysis, Wow, Bioshock and even PC Doctor are the ones that can cause the crash. Looks like they have just resolved the problem and have a fix. Any machine made after 3/20/08 should be fine according to Mark.

    Oh thanks! I guess the reason I couldn't find it was because that forum is blocked at work! I'll send it to my dad. Thanks again!
