Possibly C:\windows\minidump but you should probably search for any *.dmp files. Nirsoft bluescreenview is usually sufficient to view them. Couldn't find it on the disk but I found critical errors in system event log about errors on \device\harddisk1\DR1. The problem is the chipset. The GL960 …

Does your R61 have a dedicated graphic chip? The T-models had heavy issues with ATI chips (defective video RAM), the Nvidias had the "Nvidia-bug". I don't think so. I only saw the south bridge and the northbridge ( both intel) Likely a driver or video hardware issue. Disable as many devices as you …

Also tried installing Windows XP Home SP3 and these weird artifacts appeared. Same goes for pro SP2. Any ideas what might be the cause of this?

I have several T61 and this issue never occured, they all run and got installed with 4GB (Win and Debian dual-boot). Middleton BIOS fixes whitelists and enables SATAII as far as I remember. Is your Windows 7 install media beyond all doubt / free of any corruption? Did you try a x64 setup? The …

Hi Finally found some time to work on this Lenovo Thinkpad R61I TYPE 7650-E8G. Installing Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM causes the 0xD1, 0xF7 BSOD'S. Linux Mint has no issues booting with 4gb RAM. The BSOD's go away when installing with 2GB, but after i install windows and change to 4GB of RAM the …

Suspecting that the chipset (nforce 5) is form the time when nvidia produced defective chipsets. If it is form that era, theres no fix for it.

There are 2 resistors near the 2005 chip,R48 and R50 that are like blue-greenish color ( R48 is more green than R50). Ist it normal? I can't see them on the picture, so I can't tell. But do the color bands on them look darker than normal? Also, is the PCB underneath or near these resistors darkened …

Hi I got wondering, did anyone use backplates for socket 478? If yes, did they stop the warping from cooler, or at least slow it down? And will it work on already warped boards? I found one on ali here: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002718224757.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller …

The corruption in bios was caused by what i believe an cpu with bent pins. Slotting in the cpu it was inside it before seems to make it go away. Sadly, this board has socket problems. I need to take off the cooler, press down on the cpu, lock the cooler in place, then boot. Are there any solutions …

After unpluging the cmos battery and applying power to the board, then pluging it back it, the board has posted. Although i was greeted with this screen. Do you think its BIOS corruption? In the meantime ill stress test it for any potential issues.

Remove all the components except for the CPU and the RAM, also try a different module. Powered it on only with cpu, ram and post card, but same results. Gonna look out for a pair of rimm thats at a reasonable price. Spotted that what looks to be an missing cap (near the ICH 2), but since this board …

I think its gonna be an issue with the chipsets, although not sure which one. You could also check for any broken/missing components. Seems like theres also some caps bulging near the gameport.

Replace ALL lytic caps in the 5vsb section (even the small ones). I had a CWT ISO with this overvolted 5vsb issue and it went away after I replaced every little bugger in the 5vsb circuit. But I fixed the 5vsb overvoltage issue. Now it just doesn't wanna start. Not sure how 5vsb line is relevant to …
