    Dear all,

    I have a t520 with a recurring problem. Occasionally, I get blue screens that tell me a power_state_driver_failure has occurred. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening/how to fix it? Lenovo told me to send my laptop away but I've had bad experiences with that before...

    I have Win 7, 64 bit
    integrated graphics
    4 gigs ram

    Here's my minidump file. I zipped the crashes from feb 28 until now.

    Run ThinkVantage update. There's a Intel Rapid something-or-other driver that addresses it.
