I have a question....my IBM Thinkpad 600X randomly shuts down and restarts. Or it will occasionaly lock up so I have to restart. It has 256K RAM and a 5G HD. I've run Symantec/Norton utilities etc. but it hasn't fixed the problem. What are some of the other things I can check out to see what is causing this? Thanks!

Wrong forum BUT it is very likely due to overheating so a good clean VERY carefully to remove all dust and grime and make sure that the fan is running properly. And try running a test on your RAM module(s). PerformanceImprovement AlwaysUnloadDll NTFS/FAT
