dip,
Press on the Shift key and hold it down. At the same time press once on the NumLk key. This will disable num lock function.

Everett,
Yes, it is a simple fix. You have to disable NumLk.
Hold down the Shift key and at the same time press once on the NumLk key. Done!

Nis,
Maybe the laptop freezes because it overheats? Try cleaning the cooing fan and heat sink.
Find a can of compressed air and blow it into the fan. This will remove most dust from the cooling module. Test laptop again. Does it help?

Charles Zitnik,
Really weird problem. :/
Have you tried reinstalling Windows from scratch? Maybe it’s a software related?
Also, could be a bad hard drive I guess.

I have an R32 Laptop that will not boot up normally. IBM screen comes up with F1 and F12 choices, but goes nowhere. If I choose F12 for choosing startup drive, and choose CDROM, the computer will boot just fine to Windows XP, and works fine from that point on. I loaded a new BIOS from Lenovo hoping this would help, but the problem persists.
YOUR ANSWER
Go to the BIOS setup menu and make sure the hard drive is the first bootable device in the order. If not, make it the first device, save settings and reboot the laptop. Test if it helps.
MY REPLY:
It did not help. I tried replacing the memory, also did not help. Any other ideas?

after rebooting my laptop I find that it works normally for approx. 15mins or less and then the system freezes and needs to be rebooted manually. I have a 570 and this problem has only recently showed up over the past month and have tried resetting the BIOS and have recently updated the windows security updates. All with no luck.
Hope someone can help.
