I am putting out a general call to see if anyone else is having a problem of the following nature: After being on and actively used (no hibernation) for 3-6 hours, our Thinkpad 760ED freezes up. No error message, no GPF, nothing. It is just simply frozen. The only option is to turn the machine off and on. Doing a BIOS test shows all components as being OK. This still occurs even after upgrading to the latest BIOS (v1.02). I have Dr. Watson running and so sometimes, he pops up when we are actively using a specific application, but his message justs says "Application X had a "Unknown" fault at...". While I have not seen this problem reported here, someone the other day in the comp.sys.laptops Usenet group reported that they returned twenty-three 760ELD machines to IBM because of a similar problem that occurred in DOS, Unix, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, etc. and was unresolvable. This story was in response to another user who reported, among other things, at having the freeze problem. A technician for our vendor, who has a *lot* of experience with these Thinkpads, is checking into the problem, though he hasn't had problems like this himself with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. If anyone has had this problem and resolved it, could you please let me know? I have never heard of problems like this with the 760C series and can only guess it exists with some of the 760E models. Either that, or a number of us are shooting ourselves in the foot unknowingly. Any help would be appreciated.
