Yes, mine has spontaneously shut down, and from what I remember I lowered
the CPU speed, and that seemed to help -- but I just looked, and it seems to
be back at 100%. I've also blown out the laptop, and less dust seems to
help. But I wonder if some Vista update might also have fixed the problem --
I didn't chime in earlier b/c you said suspend, but mine would just turn
off.

Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] X61 with Vista randomly goes to sleep
I thought it was very strange too, my wife says it has even happened while
she is typing. Searching at the lenovo forum, I found a discussion of
this
laptop shutting down spontaneously from overheating, and even one or two
mentions of the laptop spontaneously sleeping. This model has one cooling
fan, though lenovo sells the same model with an embedded cellular card
that
then comes with a second fan. l am going to make sure all her power
management/bios/embedded controller drivers are all up to date and hope
that
it will help.

That sounds somehow strange, is this happening while anyone is typing or
when not? Can you try to boot a Live-Linux System and see if it happens
there?

My wife has an X61 laptop configuration not tablet, with Windows Vista,

she can be randomly working even with laptop docked and it will go into
sleep while she is working on it. She is definitely connected to the dock
and AC Power. I have checked her power management settings and there are
no
profiles set up with sleep as one of the options. Could it actually be a
failing battery causing this or is there some other place I should be
looking.
Thanks is advance.
