-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
