Hi guys. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T410, with i5 520m, 4gb ram, 500gb hard drive, and integrated graphics. Ever since I bought it a few months ago, it has been crashing a lot. It usually doesn't crash when I use it, but after I close the lid and come back to it after half an hour, it will have crashed and boot up with the "start windows normally" page. This infuriates me greatly, since I sometimes forget to save my documents and they are lost. I'm not particularly inclined to save frequently since my old desktop never crashed a single time over a period of six years. When I asked my dad about it, he got extremely angry at me and accused me of breaking the computer. He said I have to shut down the computer completely before closing the lid otherwise the computer will break. He might be right, because I've been doing that for the past week and I haven't encountered problems. However, it is exhausting to wait a few minutes to turn off and turn in every time I just want to check my email for a few seconds or type a few notes. I'm pretty sure this isn't how computers are supposed to be used. I see my friends with macbooks, and they don't even bother to put their computers to sleep before closing the lid. They just slam it shut and it goes to sleep, remaining inert and not failing catastrophically. Do you guys have any solutions, suggestions, or comments? Maybe I should just cough up money and buy a macbook next time so my computer won't just die like a lousy piece of shit?
