kahlil88 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Just did a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP3 on an IBM ThinkPad that was previously having boot problems. Suddenly it's been freezing any time I shut it down -- at the "Windows is shutting down" screen. Shuts down just fine in Safe Mode, and the hard disk passed a SeaTools long test, which should effectively rule out a hardware problem. My thought was that it might be one of the IBM programs or maybe a bad driver?
IcemanND Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Check for BIOS updates and reset BIOS to defaults.And Lenovo/IBM is known to customize the crap out of drivers. Might try updating them using the System Update tool form Lenovo/IBM.
