Hi
I have had my ThinkPad for just under a week. The day it arrived I upgraded it (maxxed the RAM to 2x512MB sticks, upped the hard drive to a 60GB and fitted an Intel 2200BG internal wireless card without antenna) and installed XP Home and Ubuntu 10.10.
It has been running fine and I haven't changed the hardware at all.
This evening it started locking up shortly after boot. It will run for about 2 minutes then lock up. It requires the power button to be held down until the machine turns off. This has done it about 5 times in the last hour.
My default OS is Ubuntu, so I booted into XP and it doesnt do it. I am writing this email on it in XP and it has been running fine for about 30 mins.
Any ideas?
Simon
