It's seldom a good idea to upgrade in hopes of fixing an existing problem.
As the machine's brand new and still under warranty, what did/does IBM have
to say about the problem?
Again, I would *not* be running SP2 on any laptop until I'd gotten the
all-clear from its manufacturer. The drivers you have now may not be
SP2-compatible.
Good luck, Potsy.
