    Hi, I received my ThinkPad T400 a few days ago, and so far I've been happy with it. Just today though, suddenly the pointer/ cursor wouldn't stop "thinking" (i.e., the blue circle kept turning and turning). When I restarted the computer, a color-scrambled screen flashed on my computer for about 1 second, right before the screen that asks for my Vista password. I restarted again and the same thing happened. So far I haven't seen a repeat of the cursor constantly "thinking" though.

    I'm wondering what might be causing this, and if it's indicative of a larger problem brewing. Any thoughts? Thanks!
