I recently picked up at Lenovo T420 for some classes I'm taking in school. It came preloaded with Win7 Pro SP1. So when I set it up to begin the long process of searching and then installing all updates, I made sure all the power settings were set correctly to never turn off/sleep/shut down hard disk or anything else while plugged into AC power and left it and went to bed. Got up this morning and it was turned off.
When I checked Windows update I found what I had already suspected...no updates found or installed. When I checked event viewer, I found the machine had shut down unexpectedly (already knew that though from the reboot) but when I searched the code (Event 41), I couldn't find anything meaningful for it as far as a cause. So I'm not sure what might be going on with it. The only thing I can possibly think of is potentially a heat issue (RealTempGT clocks the CPU temp between 60-70C at all times while surfing the web and having Windows Update running), but other than that I'm not sure what else to check. Can anyone provide any assistance? If any information would be helpful, please let me know and I will provide it...thank you.
