[BUG] DP Touchpad Mouse wnt6-x86 1203 ThinkCentre reboot loop

That reboot is possibly due to overheating (CPU @ 100% usage).  Be careful.

The DP_Touchpad_Mouse does not include the Microsoft Mice and Keyboard drivers does it ?

Do any of the Windows 7 Driverpacks have the Microsoft Mice and Keyboard drivers ?

So, what it does is to run-up the CPU usage, maybe throwing Page Faults faster than newsprint through a press, as well?  Then, after running near full-throttle for sometime derating it's ability to efficiently deliver rated current, that is increasing resistance, leading to thermal runaway and an auto-shutdown, perhaps even internal to the CPU!

30 seconds, eh?  Power-packs likely match the rating of the portable.
At any rate, maybe it would be best to monitor temperatures, Wattage, fan speeds; whatever practical during testing, if you agree.  Decline the usage of a mercury thermometer (naturally). 

This could be hobbling to some.

Does a previous pack function properly with a couple of non-critical models? (elevate the back with a rubber ball safely cut in half, or a stick, pair of erasers, oversize pencils, tiny-didgeridoo, or what-have-you - whatever keeps fans clear!)  Digeridoo H2O "Bong-Style" CPU/GPU cooler; ooo!  Need good waterflow to get sound, though, i garner.  Not for apartment-dwellers!  Sorry, back to topic.
Remove the battery on a test-unit, especially if not fully-charged.  Remove all-but one memory stick, disable HT, reduce FSB,  remove WiFi card if practical.  Sticky-tape antennae, or otherwise insulate.

  These techniques can limit some damage from thermal-runaway, or make more power available for thermal-runaway to ramp in less time.  That is where monitoring a parameter or two can guide.

What is uncovered when you boot into Safe Mode?  I hope that it is possible.  Double check the Keyboard, Mouse Control Panel apps as well as DEVMGMT.MSC versus OEM Specification data & Driver availability concerning the actual TouchPad in each test-case.  If any must undergo disassembly, those would make great test-candidates if TouchPad manufacturer can be visually verified from a logo on-chip, or printed on TP board.  Avoid removing factory laminate from the fragile modules.  Sticky-tape is OK to remove, just be careful with the ribbon-cables (if applicable).

Thank you again, for pointing out those issues!
     What is progress without feedback?   It is unconfirmed.

[off-topic]   Oh, it's a wind instrument relying upon one's lips for production of those soothing sounds.  A "bong-style" cooler, which relies upon "phase-change" for cooling, could not reproduce those sounds.  Add to that the fact that additional humidity in some climates could encourage mold & mildew growth inside a dwelling.  It seemed like a novel idea at the time.     [/off-topic]

On a "risk" machine, disable "Automatic  Restart" upon system failure to view a bluescreen code and the offending file (if applicable).

Also, please mention some models other than the "ThinkCentre M57" so that others have a better chance of reproducing this undesired and potentially harmful effect.

Also, does this same effect occur with "SAD3"?   Is the 64-bit pack effected, too?
