Thinkpad Edge 540 blue screens

I am an owner of an e540 for 2 days..The only upgrade i did to the laptop is an ssd.
Is there any chance that this ssd isn't working with this laptop?
ssd ..... http://ark.intel.com/products/66250/Intel-SSD-520-Series-240GB-2_5in-SATA-6Gbs-25nm-MLC
Thinkpad ...... http://www.digideli.gr/Notebook-Lenovo-ThinkPad-26305?filter_name=edge%20e540
Thx in advance.

Thank you for your reply and your advice buying a samsung evo.
I also found this http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e5... saying that it's a known problem having an Intel 520 series only(lucky me) and the THE SOLUTION IS "Update the drive’s firmware to version LFBi.".
I updated yesterday since then nothing has happened.Is this any possibility that ssd will die cause of that update?

OSD indication for caps lock and num lock on Thinkpad Edge 540

Hello !You may know that the Thinkpad Edge E series have a keyboard lacking the caps lock and num lock leds.On Windows, one can have an OSD display (temporary or permanent) for these two indications.I still need to find something equivalent on Linux.So I ask : Is there a way to have such OSD on Linux ? If not, Mr Lenovo, could you port the Windows OSD on Linux ?Many thanks in advance for your answer.

I use "Keylocks Indicator" in OpenSUSE and Mint installations. Places a tell tale indicator in the system tray as well as provides on screen notification (pop up message). Check it out here... http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/keylocks-indicator-for-ubuntulinux.html.

Thinkpad T440p get blue screen on windows 8.1 on booting

I have T440p and upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8.1 all working fine except the display doesn't look right and when i shut down and boot up again i get windows 8.1 blue screen (sad face) then it works fine.
any advice what is the problem and is it a display adapter problem, although it says in the device manager under display adapters intel HD graphics 4600 and NVIDIA Geforce GT 730M
check the screen shot it looks blurred

Hi MtGLD,
Thank you for the reply!
As per the dump file the issue is related to memory it might be graphic memory or with RAM, uninstall both the graphic driver and check the system for some time, if the issue still persists then it could be with system memory, if you have 2 memory in your system then remove one of them and check it.
If you are not getting any error after uninstalling the drivers, then try only with Intel graphic driver for some time and later you can try with Nvidia drivers, suggest you to download the latest drivers from support site.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

ThinkPad Edge S430 Flickering screen

Hi!
I have this quite new laptop (with intel HD4000 GPU, no nvidia), and the screen flickers randomly, if there's no external display connected. I'm using KDE, but I think I saw the flickering during startup/shutdown as well (plain console, but KMS set up the resolution). I tried a lot of things (KWin effect setting, intel x driver settings, intel kernel module settings), but I never managed to fix it. I use this laptop since the middle of December, and I always have this problem. The only thing that fixes the problem, if I set up an external display (hdmi or miniDvi).

If anyone's intrested: It turned out it was a hardware problem. Changing the mainboard fixed it.

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 - Graphic card recognition and blue Screens BSOD

Hi, I'm having MAJOR troubles with Windows 8.1 64 Bit latest version on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540.Effects are:- Startup and BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL- Serveral effects on the Nvidia GT740M in the device manager not detected or driver could not start - not detected in device manager - detected, but driver not started    Die Treiber für dieses Gerät wurden nicht installiert. (Code 28)
    Es sind keine kompatiblen Treiber für dieses Gerät vorhanden.
    Klicken Sie auf "Treiber aktualisieren", um einen Treiber für dieses Gerät zu finden. - Updated e.g. Intel Bluetooth driver: => seen, but driver could not be started, deactivated/activated device => OK BIOS version is latest version available today. Latest Intel driver available from Lenovo is very old from 20.12.2013, 10.18.10.3379Nvidia GT740M driver: 9.1.2015, 9.18.13.4725, also older driver don't work reliable. @Lenovo: Please provide newer drivers for Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia GT740M which work reliable on Thinkpad Edge E540 !!!!! Thank you. Gerhard

No, they want swap the motherboard for free (I've also bough a 3 year additional warranty). I've to reinstall the Windows system to "proove" that it also not working correctly. And still not possible to destinguish between the 3 theoretical options listed below. Otherwise they will charge 380EUR + the price for the motherboard (guessing 200 EUR) which is not acceptable. Theoretically only the cause which are possible are:- Hardware problem
- Driver problem
- Windows OS problem I also uninstalled all graphic card drivers (Intel HD4600 and Nvidia GT740M driver in safe mode with Driver uninstaller). Rebooted. Afterwards with opened device manager to see the graphic card devices I was installing the latest driver package. Intel HD4600 driver installs well, when the Nvidia GT740M driver will be installed computer crashes instantly.https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540/downloads/DS039880

Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
Thanks,

I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
After making those changes it worked like a charm.

Lenovo thinkpad L412 blue screen when i move my laptop

i am using lenovo thinkpad L412 laptop
my screen gets blue screen when i move my laptop. if i dont move it it just works fine.
i tried to update my stytem for latest driver and software but still problem doesnt go away.
i also run the diagnostic test for hardware but it doesnt show any problem.

You can't have a blue screen in bios, blue screens are a "feature" of Windows OS.
What is the error code mentioned on the blue screen? This could give information about the nature of the problem.
You could also try to boot from a Linux Live cd distribution, such as Ubuntu for example (no need to install it, just boot from it). If the Live cd works well then most probably this is not a hardware problem but drivers related as somebody already suggested.
Please tell us the machine type of your laptop, the operating system used and any hardware changes you have made (added memory, changed hard disk etc). Give as much details as possible!

Black screen after suspend on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E525

Hi everyone!
I own a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E525 which is running Arch. After waking up my laptop from suspend mode, the screen stays black and the laptop doesn't seem to respond to any input (even the SysReq keys don't seem to be working
I followed the instructions from the wiki (especially the laptop specific page and the pm-utils page), but it still doesn't work.
I'd be happy to provide more information if necessary.
Many thanks in advance,
ElVirolo.

Any other insights?
I'm having this same problem on my Thinkpad T60. Both suspend-to- disk and -to-ram result in a system which does not respond. The crescent moon led indicator stays lit after resume. At first there's some disk activity and then nothing.
My system worked fine about a week ago, but after upgrading (to kernel 3.3.2-1 among other things), I haven't been able to suspend properly anymore. I have tried all sorts of fixes in the wikis and around the net, but nothing at all seems to help.
Has anybody else had suspend/resume problems after recent upgrades?
Edit: Also, after trying to resume, I can hear the fan beginning to rotate. Though the laptop seems to be unable to wake up, the fan is active. I also assume the CPU is under a heavy load as the laptop gets quite hot on on the left side.
Edit: Downgrading kernel does not help.
Edit 2:
Ok, this is weird.
I normally don't have the module (snd-hda-intel) for my sound card loaded. As soon as I load it manually, at least suspend begins to work normally. Why is this?
Is there a way to tell the kernel not to touch the module when resuming from suspend? I have the module blacklisted.

Thinkpad T60 Blue Screening when Idle. CSRSS.exe probable cause

Hi All,
I have a customer who leaves his computer on at work overnight and has received blue screens every night when he leaves his laptop. Once he reboots, the laptop is fine until he leaves it idle again.
The bugcheck is BugCheck F4, {3, 86b9cab8, 86b9cc2c, 805d164c} and the probable cause is csrss.exe as noted in the minidump ( I still have to load symbols for the debug).
I have updated bios and all necessary drivers and it still blue screens. Any idea why this BSOD is still occurring?
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil

Thinkpad Edge E530 hangs on shutdown

Hi,
my Edge 530 fails regularly (allthough not every time) to shut down. Instead it hangs on the blue exit screen of my Windows 7 (Home Prem, SP1) and I'm forced to hold the power button down in order to shut down my system.
Windows event viewer shows a bunch of identical reports like this one:
ACPI thermal zone ACPI\ThermalZone\TZ01 has been enumerated.
_PSV = 368K
_TC1 = 1
_TC2 = 5
_TSP = 1000ms
_AC0 = 0K
_AC1 = 0K
_AC2 = 0K
_AC3 = 0K
_AC4 = 0K
_AC5 = 0K
_AC6 = 0K
_AC7 = 0K
_AC8 = 0K
_AC9 = 0K
_CRT = 373K
_HOT = 0K
_PSL - see event data.
Sometimes I get a beep and a message "fan error" on the following start up. Can this be potentially harmful and what shoud I try to do about it?
Thanks in advance,
Juhani

Blue screen after installing labview 8

I recently installed Labview 8 Professional Dev. Suite on to a Win. XP SP2 system. The image before installation was stable. After the installation and reboot, the system blue screens (I have been unable to read the exact message on the blue screen) and reboots. I was able to boot if I selected "using last know configuration" option in the Windows XP boot options, indicating that the problem is driver/registry related. After I use the last know configuration, I get an error message "nidevmon.exe - Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I tried to repair all of the installed NI products without any success.
Device manager shows all devices installed properly without any conflicts.
Please advise on how I can resolve this installation conflict.
Thanks.
--Jeff

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. When my system boots up I receive the "nidevmon.exe could not be initialized" error message. When I try to manually start the program after startup, I still get the same message. I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] and have also updated my system with the latest patches. I have the ni USB-6008 device. My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40, 1.5Ghz Centrino, with 512MB ram, and 80GB hd. I have installed labview 7.1 and then NI-DAQmx 8.0 that came with the card.
Furthermore, the hardware does not succesfully install on my system. After I install the software, reboot and plug the usb device in, the hardware wizard pops up. However, in the end, I get "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I suspect this has to do with the nidevmon.exe not initializing. The ni hardware appears to be fine, I have successfully installed the devices in another system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ni-daqmx 8.0 software several times, and even downloaded version 7.5 from the web, however this did not solve the problem either. I would appreciate any suggestions..
Thanks,
Arash

Help!!! T61 Blue Screen--unmountable boot volume-- error code 0000: Read verification failed

My computer is T61 (8891CT), but Blue Screen came out and reported--unmountable boot volume. I ran the diagnostic program and got the error code 0000: Read verification failed. I can’t run anything now including the restore and rescue. Has the hard drive died?
If the hard drive has died, I have to change the hard drive, but how to transfer the system (I don’t have any CD) and think vantage software? Thank you very much for you help.

Hi equalefk,
Yes, definitely sounds like it's time to replace the HDD.
Hope it helps.
