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.

What have any of what you posted have to do with freeze ups?

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.

Apparently you don't know what are rootkits. You think they just interfere

with updates?

It has everything to do with giving pigs something to do. How else do

you keep members of Geriatric Society busy?

I think you are correct. My son loaded a temp monitoring prog. and the temp

reached 65C and rising when it locked-up again.



Thanks for the tip.

So what made you conclude that the Feb updates were the culprits? It's

something we see quite often in this forum: Unexplained problems -> must be

caused by a Windows update.

Because there is ample evidence if you care to search for them. M$ updates

have become a drain on users systems since September 2009. The sooner these

useless updates are stopped the better it would be for everybody - least for

Microsoft Valuable Pigs.



Thankfully it doesn't affect me because I haven't had any updates since SP3

and I have no intention to change this position in the near future.
 
I think you are correct....overheating appears to be the issue I need to

address and backing up is a great suggestion. The damage may be beyond

reasonable repair $$.



Thanks
