HI,
Having the same problem for 11 months. Went thru 10 harddrives in 11 months: the last 3 months were westernDigita, Seagate and WesternDigital(2 year warranies each). The first 7 were referbs because I was in Saudi Arabia and thought problem was harddrive. anyhow, It crashed for months,
at first no so often but increased in frequency until did it every 5 minutes over perion of the month. Ifound if I in thru safe mode it didnt crash when i it did with OS, this happened both with vista and windows 7 which I am trying now.NO orange light s ruled out power supply. Put table fan to keep it cool and cleaned fan so operated better. It was tested by 3 different shops
2 of which were authorized Toshiba dealers. 2 weeks ago a Toshiba service center took the computer completely apart, checked everything andcleaned it and said nothing was wrong. But yesterday went a step beyond crashing and would not let me put an OS on either vista 32bit or Windows 7, kept giving bootloader not loaded. I went to Toshiba and got new Toshiba harddrive and at 3% of erasing new disk it crashed again? I had the dealer put windows 7 on the harddrive so that I could read my mail. I checked CMOS, Fan, everything.It doesnt sound like memory because it works in safemode. I believe this is a bios update problem with toshiba and harddrives, the creeps at one toshiba told me it he cant think of anything except the mother board.
