Hello guys, I have three T21-Thinkpads with three different error-descriptions, this one here is 1/3:
_Description:______________#1: T21-800 freezes____________________________ The T21 in question boots, works fine, but after an unrecognized period of time freezes. This results in the system "hanging" with the ventilation on. However, I can not find any hot area besides the usual one: the HDD. This is what I have tried so far: - reinstalled the entire WinXP SP3 system - removed/replaced RAM -> no result, system also hangs with other RAM - removed modem/lan card-> no result, system also hangs without that card - removed dvd-drive -> no result, system also hangs without that drive - tore T21 apart and cleaned the ventilation-unit -> nothing changed either Another thing that I recognized today is that the system does not run smoothly, two examples: 1) If you move the mouse, the mouse sometimes stops its move and then appears where it should arrive. Means: It does not move smoothly, it jumps. 2) If I run any Win-XP-default-screensaver, I see that the system stops just as with the mouse and then continues. What I want to say is that this system starts to run "flocky" after some while as if it would lose its correct "heart-beat". This odd behaviour begins after approx. one hour running-time. The machine runs more and more delayed and finally the ventilation starts and the system freezes. More and more I have the feeling that this is not a temperature or (over-) heating issue, but a problem with the internal BUS. I hope you understand my humble description. What can I do to solve this problem? Which FRU part numbers are to change? I hope you can help me out and thank you in advance. Many greetings! -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
