SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Windows NT version 3.51 on a P120 MHz IBM ThinkPad 760C, a STOP Message (blue screen) appears when Setup reboots. Specifically, this happens during the initial blue screen (with the progress dots) as drivers are loaded. The STOP Message information varies, but is consistently at the same place in the boot process.



CAUSE
The IBM ThinkPad 760C P120 model is only supported by Windows NT if used with BIOS revision 91G228.



RESOLUTION
BIOS revision 91G228 is a BETA version. It is currently available from the IBM bulletin board, in directory 37, at (919) 517-0001. The self-extracting filename is SYTPF100.EXE. Currently, this is the only version of BIOS on the P120 models that works with Windows NT.
