kahlil88 Posted September 28, 2011 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted September 29, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
