I've switched Display to "integrated..." in the BIOS and tried it out. I do indeed get that syslog message with the Quadro disabled, and I get it again when I plug the AC adapter back in. At this point I'm convinced that the crash is related somehow to the 64 bit nVidia binary driver. Things have worked quite well when I've tried 32 bit versions of Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15 w/ the Quadro, and they've worked well with 64 bit versions as well when my Display is set to "integrated..." but when I try to install the 64 bit driver and enable the Quadro, thats when the problems start. I probably should have included this before: $ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version 8BET44WW (1.24 ) $ uname -a Linux monolith 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 2:00 PM, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, 31 May 2011, Peter Giles wrote: >> My Thinkpad w520 crashes moments after I unplug it from AC power.
