Has anyone experienced any problems with XP Pro updates sent in Feb.? My
Lenovo T61p has performed flawlessly for 2+years but suddenly started turning
off and now stays on but freezes-up. I can't detect a virus and seems like
the Feb. updates are all that has changed.

I plan to uninstall them….between freeze-ups, unless someone has a better
thought.

Thanks

Check for a heat related problem. All fans working? No update problems here.

If the system shuts off and stays off, that indicates hardware failure,
usually due to heat. This doesn't heal, parts are replaced.

Now would be a good time to ensure that your drive is fully backed up.
