T400 w/Discrete Graphics gives the blue screen of death

Hello

I just got my T400 with discrete graphics.  From the start for the first time, Vista Basic told me that the computer does not close correctly (I'm guessing at the factory).  I started it normally (not safe mode) and it booted to Vista, but the preparation of the system 3.1 popped up and asked me what I wanted to do.  I chose "Enter system Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)" and he did his thing and the system seems to work fine after that.

After playing with the features a bit, I decided to close the lid and let it go to sleep and then wake him.  After awakening, the screen shows the office, then black, then I got a blue screen saying that a device driver signed an infinite loop.

I was able to reproduce this problem several times and decided to change the BIOS settings to run only integrated graphics.   The system has worked under integrated grahics so I decided to run the update system and Windows Update and updated as supply manager.  After that, whenever I set the graphics settings in the BIOS to hybrid or discrete, the computer will boot into vista and then give a blue screen right after the flash of the Bureau on the screen.

Please let me know what I can try.  Currently, I restore the hard drive to the factory image.

I really can't believe the laptop left the factory like that.

* Update

I ended up sending my laptop in the warehouse, and they had to replace the motherboard.  Now everything works.

Dealing with technical assistance has been horrible... but Mark_Lenovo helped me through this process and even extended my warranty as compensation to receive a machine comes with 2 problems: 1) a defective hard disk image and 2) a defective hand on Board that caused the onboard graphics to fail.

    Hello

    In general the BSOD is the product of the problem of hardware or software problem. To check if it of software or hardware associated with deliver its necessary to reinstall the OS and check if the BSOD will appear using the new OS preinstalled.
    Of course, it s painful to do that because the recovery procedure would format the HARD drive and therefore the data backup is necessary!

    I don t think that the different input voltage might affect the functionality of the laptop computer because the laptop uses the universal adapter that supports entry 100V-240V.

    BSOD can be caused by faulty memory modules so I think that this test of memory could be useful also

  • Whenever I start my computer, I get the blue screen of death. I'm not getting in what concerns the opening of session and there is no prompt to start in safe mode. Whenever I start my computer the error code and message on blue screen are different.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I was on the internet when my computer screen turned blue and a message told me that a problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down. He said that I had tried to do something with memory executable not executable (I don't have a note of the code). He said as he poured out memory. Now, whenever I start, the blue screen of death gives me different messages and different error codes. Today, he says:

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    and codes of error STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000001B, 0 x 00000600, 0x810A90B0, 0x00000001).

    PC World say that they need to reinstall Windows, but I have some really really important files on there that I have not supported (I know, really stupid on my part) and they said they cannot guarantee their recovery. Is there another way to fix it?

    I've been on the forums and suggestions involve me to be able to connect to my computer. Blue screen hits me before I can log on, and there is no prompt to start in safe mode.

    Thank you very much!

    Try this to save your data:

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • I downloaded an update and restarted my computer, received the blue screen of death shortly after the computer restarts. Now it does not start

    I don't know when the downloaded update, the computer has been restarted on September 10, 2010 to install updates. Shortlyl once the computer is restarted, I got the blue screen of death.  with the details of error like:

    Stop 0 x 000000050 (0 x 000000000000000, 0xFFFFF88001DCAE4, 0xFFFFF8A00B490027, 0 x 00000000000002) do not know if the number of zeros is exactly right in one of those, but it's super frustrating.

    I tried to restart my computer in repair as recommended (get blue screen of death), I tried to reboot normally, loop just restart procedures asking if I want to restart in repair mode.  I tried SafeMode (BSOD), I tried to restart with last working restart (restart loops), I tried to choose the "Computer repair" BSOD I tried a diagnosis and all past.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    So yes actually hear nothing helped me.  Seems that, given that the computer is not stopped correctly and my hard drive was not recognized there starting the cycle upward or give me the BSOD.  Put it in my Ubuntu CD spare which I've had since my last PC hard drive became corrupt and force back across my hard drive.  After doing this, I was able to do a boot repair, who led for the BSOD.  Not sure how that actually fixed, lost about 10 hours of my day.  So I guess I can chalk up to Microsoft and a reminder on why I should buy Mac for now on... an update shouldn't really cause such problems.

    I get that not everyone has the same PC, so it is difficult to tell if an update is bad, but he should not do this and if an update is the cause of a certain segment of consumers who are updating must be taken down for everyone, or at least the users with the configuration that is known to have problems with an update.

    Problem is solved, had to go back to a previous version of good boot where I have not install updates again.  Now, I'm trying to understand who was was bad, so I can leave my computer knows to ignore.

    Nice day.

  • When I print, I get the blue screen of death.

    I'm running an Asus U47A, intel i7, 8 GB of ram.  Bought a printer cheap for the College, the printer HP Deskjet 1000 J110a (printer of $ 30 million).  Please don't tell me I'm cheap and I should have bought the model upward, it would not be useful.  Whenever I have print or the print job will complete successfully, either during the print job, my PC will crash and gives me the blue screen of death.  What should I do? I uninstalled the printer drivers, reinstalled them, check the updates, and install them directly from the HP site... you name it.  I am ready to throw my head through the wall because I need to print frequently and having my computer crash in the middle of a document is not what I need.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

    If the error persists, try the printer on another USB port such as the USB 2.0 port.

    You might also uninstall the Intel USB 3.0 driver and let the USB ports operate at 2.0 speed as which seems to have stopped errors blue screen in the link above for a user.

    Also, another printer, not necessarily a more expensive, but a different brand or model may not exhibit the same problem.

  • HP Pavilion DV9600US video hangs and get the blue screen of death, hardware video message fails

    If this can help others! I have a HP DV9600US it works well but then screen freezes hot flashes and crashes or re-boots or gives me the blue screen of death. Spent hours updating the drivers and the latest NVIDIA drivers without change, all the tests and diagnosis appear normal. When I open IE 9 it hangs then crashes sometimes at the office, tried to change the parameters of res and nothing has worked. I assumed I had a bad video chip. NOT. This all started I thought with IE 9, I changed all the settings of Internet Explorer.

    Here's what I found to solve the problem and I hope this can help, DO NOT updating auto or manual for the new drivers or NVIDA video Windows CE is the cause, I downloaded from the site to shape the 2008 NVIDIA driver HP and rolled, problem solved. I am running Windows Vista 32 bit.

    I post that hope, it helps others and records the days/hours of attachment and not update recommended to the latest drivers that actually caused the problem in the first place. I guess the lesson learned if it works LEAVE IT ALONE.

    Good luck

    When I tried the laptop powered, the power light was for about 1-2 sec even with the fan, and then they continue or let's just say that it will not feed. I've done several times, but the result is the same.

    I also tried the solution on what I read here in the forum. "Press and hold the power down for about 30 seconds."

    I tried too many times but it won't work.

    Please help me to LENOVO.

  • USB-6009 not recognized after the blue screen of death

    I have two devices USB-6009, used with NOR-DAQmx and Labview to make some analogue simple analogue input and output.  The USB box - two 6009 were previously works very well on this PC.  Recently, I got a blue screen of death, associated with a different USB device to (non - OR) connected to the PC.  I not save the information of the blue screen of death.  When I restarted the computer, the USB-6009 devices were no longer recognized by Labview / MAX.  The Green LED on the USB - 6009 s do not come.  The USB - 6009 s appear in the Device Manager of Windows with a yellow exclamation point ("Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device").  If I connect the USB-6009 case to another PC, MAX recognizes them on this PC, and I get the usual flashing green LED.  If I connect another USB-6009 (never connected to this PC), I get a green LED solid, and, says Windows cannot load the driver.

    I am running Vista, Labview 8.5 and NOR-DAQmx 8.9.  I rebooted 5 - 6 times, I tried disabling and the reactivation of the USB-6009 by windows Device Manager, I tried the options "update driver" in Device Manager.  Any advice on how else to solve it?  Thank you!

    Hi TheCookeNinja,

    I suggest you run the check disk (chkdsk) of the Recovery Console & check if you are able to boot to the desktop correctly.

    Step 1: To start the Recovery Console, you can follow this link.

     

    To start the computer and use the Recovery Console

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_overview.mspx?mfr=true

    Step 2: At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following command and then press ENTER:

    CHKDSK [/ p]: [/ r]

    Note: At first, try to run chkdsk/p & check if it helps. Later, you can run chkdsk/r.

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on
    your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed:
    load address of the driver, description, version, name of the product, the company that
    created the pilot and more.

    For drivers, visit system Maker as replacements and manufacturer device which are the
    most up-to-date. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write it down
    and complete the model of your video - double click - tab of the driver card-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    that MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it
    will update the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so to install a driver - restart
    -check that it is installed and try again if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

    ==========================================

    Tests of memory intercept all errors such as memory do not match (possible
    even for the Poles that seem identical) and when the faster memory is placed
    in the system behind the slower memory. So it is best to also swap sticks in and out
    to check for those even if all the tests of memory are not a problem.

    To test the RAM here control - run 4 + hours or so.<-- best="">
