I have one IBM T60 t2400 , video 1400x1050 - x1300 video card . The notebook display flicker everytime I acces some folder with big qty of video files or when runing autocad programs. When I stop that action also flicker stops. GPU temperature: 60 degrees

What is the problem and how can be solved?

no one got this problem?

i format hdd, reinstalled xp and now when accesing this folder with many .mpg files -display turns off (only light stays..) anf laptop is frezzing untill hard reboot...
strange thing is that i did many video card test : pcdoctor for windows,3dmark05,videocardstability and they all pass withaut errors.

If you don't use docking, perhaps get latest generic ATI video drivers (not from Lenovo, they only provide outdated and buggy versions), use Mobility Modder (which will allow to install them on ThinkPad), it might help.

Edit: Lenovo will very soon (as of Feb 3, 2009) release updated drivers which are possibly the best - because with generic drivers docking does not behave so well.

I installed monitor drivers and video driver as adviced here with mobility modder and no display off/freeze untill now... I will keep testing . I also played today Counter Strike for testing only and no freeze but game test its the first time i try it.

thank you

MY PROBLEM ITS NOT GONE !!!
ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ? MY DISPLAY TURNS OFF FOR 1-2 SECONDS FOR NO REASON AND IF I ACCES BIG VIDEO FILES FOLDER MONITOR TURNS OFF AND PC FREEZE .

ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS ? IS THIS 100% GPU REFLOW PROBLEM??

I would try to uninstall the current GPU driver that you have and install the one from lenovo. The screen flickering seems like a driver issue. At least with nvidia, if you don't have any drivers, this seems to happen. Have you also checked that you have drivers for all the other devices on your system and that they're all working properly? Check the PCI bus located under system devices.

all is installed..
I also format hdd install all full drivers from lenovo site and for a few days all was ok also folder movies working great...but asa i keep added softwares ,installs etc problem come back again. So on fresh windows no problem.

Well, then maybe your problem is caused by one or more of the programs you add. FYI cracked video editing software may cause similar problems What programs did you install additionally?

Dude, you might want to refer to the "T60 Freeze" or similar thread in this forum. I have the same T60 like yours, thus - same problems. So far, I've used couple of ATi drivers and the newest ones (the ones that were made for 3800/4800 so GTA IV would work properly) give me no crap when playing videos. Of course, modded with the Mobility Modder.
Now, for the problem - I still have flickering from time to time, but this is PowerPlay issue, and you'll have it with most of the drivers (even when you turn it off - it works for a few days and then gets magically on again by itself). The blocking is also PowerPlay issue, but it's corrected in new versions of the driver. So... long story short - either do what I did, either go to "T60 Freeze" thread (I think that a guy from Lenovo has posted that this issue is resolved, as long as you PM him and get new drivers from him). When you're done, your laptop is going to run legen... wait for it... dary! Oh, and it has nothing to do with hardware, don't worry.
P.S. Uninstall old version of the driver and do a restart before you attempt to install the new one - Very, very important!

i have 8-12_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_72271.exe MMDotNETSetup1110.zip msxml6_x86.msi

installed - same problems.

I send it PM to that guy ,hope 100% solution available..as it gets me on my nervs.. and soon i will make the shock test..
