Have this curious problem that seems to be happening more frequently than a year ago when I bought it. Unit is a Lenovo ideapad U310. I'll have the machine on and can be working, sometimes I'm away from it for 10 minutes and come back to it and it's doing this: Everything frozen with screen on. No mouse, no touchpad response. Both power lights on the front of the case are on and not blinking at all. Only recourse is to hold the power button until it shuts off and re-start.
(Also have another curious question, but should post seperately, as it happened twice as I was typing this - cursor just bolts from where I am typing to another area of text and I have to go and backspace several words from where it is now typing).
This seems to be a random occurrence, but I'm suspect that maybe it's Google Chrome and the abundant amount of tabs I'll have open (on a usual day, can be around 15 tabs). But I think I've seen it happen with fewer tabs open.
Specs on my system are as follows:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Service Pack 1
Intel Core i5 - 3317U @ 1.7 GHz
4GB RAM
I've done a little research on Tom's forums and someone did mention that there is the possibility of expanding the RAM to 8GB, but I'd really like to know where the problem stems from before I go buy an $85 stick of RAM.
