>Description:
I have upgraded my ThinkPad 770ED from a 2.2.6 version to 3.1-RELEASE  a few weeks back. 
Since then I have been experiencing a freeze of the system consistently after about 10 minutes 
of uptime.  I thought the problem was with the apm driver and disabled it - but the problem remains.
I have tried to remove all the drivers I don't need for the basic operations, but the situation has
not changed.  I also need to disconnect the power  source (battery or DC power cord) to reboot
at this time since the power switch is also disabled.  I suspect the problem has something to do 
with the ThinkPad's power management  that has surfaced only with 3.1 release.  I would surely
appreciate any help with this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 3.1-RELEASE on a ThinkPad 770ED  and just reboot the system.  You don't even have to 
login - just let it sit idle for a while;  or,  you could work on it (make sure you don't work with any crucial
files that you cannot recreate) - just wait for long enough for the timer to kick in and freeze the system.
