I have an IBM T60. It keeps freezing up. We installed a new hard drive for the customer, upgraed the RAM to 2GB and Installed Vista Ultimate. After 3 months they decided to go back to WIndows XP. We reformated thed hardrive, installed all the drivers, et. Customer dowloaded AOL software and system frooze. We reformated hardrive again. System kept freezing up as soon as windows loads. We changed the RAM, tried a different harddrive. Same thing keeps happening. Any ideaa?

It may be that you need to use the manufacturer's Chipset/motherboard drivers, rather than XP default.
Also update (from manufacturer) the video drivers.

The XP defualt drives don't load on this Lenevo. We installed all the recommended drivers from the IBM site. We even tried using their download update that didn't help.

I would try flashing your BIOS perhaps and if that fails perhaps taking a look at the power supply. Now I realize with a laptop it may be difficult to tinker much with the power, but perhaps it could be something with the batteries or the charger.

I did notice I could not update the Bios because the battery won't take a charge. Every time I tried it kept telling me "No Battery Installed. Please Check". I guess I could tell the customer he neededs a battery. Is this common?
