Hello to all. I have a thinkpad T61p - model 64577WU with the configuration below: 

Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz Processor  
4GB RAM  
160GB 7200rpm HD  
15.4in 1920x1200 WUXGA LCD  
256MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M  
1GB Intel Turbo Memory   
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 
 
Since I received my notebook it freezes the image, reboot for itself own, when me I enable the FX 570M. It is very similar the all of the problems that you are telling in this topic. I use two modules of memory. I found the following page in the internet: 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=209796

I followed all of the steps and my notebook accepted the FX570M with the option AERO again and to do all the tests without mistake. 
I would like to ask to Mark of Lenovo that sent that modified driver of Nvidia for the engineers of Lenovo analyze. 
IF with this new driver the plate works without problems, then I think a located problem in the SOFTWARE of the plate and not in the hardware. 
Mark, as they are several unsatisfied customers with that and that solution is not a solution ratified by you, I ask that you analyze, repair the driver of FX570M and make available the fastest possible in the site. I don't see sense in being long more than one week for this. 
I would like to ask to the other users that, if possible, test this modified driver and inform the results. I continue using two modules of memory in Windows Ultimate 32 and I don't have more any freezing of screen.

I tested it. I still have BSOD and freezes. But my video card is 140m and system is Windows Xp. Maybe it only for 570m how you think belli?

Magic, I undestood in the Notebook Forum that this driver is for FX 570M only. But, if it is possible to make a driver that works nice with FX 570M, I'm sure that is possible to do same with FX 140M. The responsibility for these new drivers belongs to the manufacturer of the equipment. They are not of Nvidia. In that way, Lenovo needs to dedicate efforts and to repair what was sold for several customers.

no problem with 1 stick with mine.

Do you have  "Intel Turbo Memory"  ?   this has caused similar problems for people in another thread.

to ThinkP No i dont have intel turbo memory...

Here we go again, you guys always go around in the same circles, you say oh it's probably a software issue, or it's a Turbo Memory issue.  Sigh.  Please save yourself the trouble and don't re-invent the wheel, Lenovo engineers already figured out the problem.  How many of us have had this problem already?  You don't think we already tried something so simple as updating our drivers, different OS, disabling Turbo Memory, etc?

Just let Lenovo do their job and fix it right...

Hellbore I think that's a legit presumption seeing as they were refering to a poster who was having BSODs with one DIMM installed. As far as I know the coming "fix" is for the 2 DIMM issue. BSODs can happen for whole list of reasons but seeing as he had only one DIMM its fair to bring out other possible causes (driver/software related).

Also anyone having BSODs it would help reduce the clutter if they went through this thread enough at least to know that the problems they're having are not the same.

Has anyone else tried this mod with a 570?
I believe the problem is entirely different between the nvidia models.
