    My lenovo died after a BIOS update, so i i did send it back to lenovo to get i fixed.
    When i got it back i decided to install win 7 x64, but i have issuses with the stability of the system.

    It reboots randomly, sometimes with a bluescreen and some times not. Some times it has to try a few times before getting to a workable desktop.

    I have tried to reinstall (the first installation i did install the turbomemory, the second i den't) but i does not seam to work.

    Is this a hardware problem or software problem with one of the new win 7 drivers?

    Here is one of the error messages, but i am not sure it is any help:
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
    OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48
    Locale ID: 1030

    Additional information about the problem:

    BCP1: 00000000C0000005
    BCP2: FFFFF80002DC3A19

    BCP4: 0000000000000000
    OS Version: 6_1_7600

    unstable os with bsod can be either a bad os install or bad hardware or software issues. try reinstalling the os and see if the problem is resolved. if not, then contact lenovo for further support.

    I already tried reinstalling. Maybe a driver issue with one of lenovos drivers?

    I will try 32 bit instead of 64 bit. Hopefully it helps.

    Did you try running System Toolbox to see if there is anything there? A peek into the Event Viewer may yield something.

    64bit or 32bit, should not give a blue screen. looks like hardware. best check is not 32bit install, but boot with a linux distro bootable CD like Knoppix - especially brilliant at this sort of thing. but there are others.

    Is it possible to remove the turbo memory module and do a clean install? I fault the Turbo memory feature. Better off without it.

    if you don't want the turbo memory you can simply open your laptop up and take it out.

    i don't see anything wrong with the turbo memory though
