Try safe mode (F8 while booting) and let us know if you can get in that way.

I once had an issue on a laptop it ended up being a faulty RAM stick..

Just a thought... maybe try taking a stick out?? and run one? If you have 2.

After many headbaning hours I have fixed this problem. It is a wireless LAN card driver problem (looks like an interrupt conflict). It is best to go ahead and update *all* drivers and BIOS on your machine with the new automated updater from Lenovo. Just make sure you get the Intel Pro Wireless driver updated (mine didn't update on the initial download, had to update twice).

1. If you don't already have it, download and install .NET 2.0 from Microsoft
2. Get the ThinkVantage System Updater
3. Install the updater. It will show up under ThinkVantage in your Start->All Programs menu.
4. Launch the ThinkVantage System Update program.
5. Get new updates.
6. Select *all* on each tab.
7. Download the selected drivers. This may be about 260MB and take 30-60 minutes! It's worth it tho.
8. The updater will automatically update most drivers. Curiously, the *specific* driver I needed to update did not download on the first attempted update. I had to re-do the update process a second time selecting *only* the Intel wireless driver. The second time it *did* install correctly.
9. Note that you may have also selected the BIOS update. You'll be prompted with a BIOS update screen during one of your re-starts. Follow the directions carefully and keep your power cord connected.

Once you have updated all drivers and the Intel wireless driver you should not get the blue screen again!!!!

I hope you have as good of luck as I did on this update.!

Enjoy!

Hardware devices that are not installed properly in the computer can also cause random reboots. Make sure all the cables and expansion cards are connected properly to the computer. The best way to determine this is to disconnect and reconnect all cables and expansion cards.

If the above solution does not work. You might run a ScanDisk on your hard drive to make sure everything is in order.

Hope this helps you...
