Laptop Freezing

manoop · 11-02-2009, 07:46 PM

Hi, I'm using Toshiba Satellite Core 2 Duo/3 GB . My laptop is freezing up randomly and instantly. Keyboard, Monitor and Mouse all are frozen. I just have to reboot. I reinstalled windows by formatting my HD, still the problem is persisting. The core temperature doesn't seem to be much 40-50 mostly. I even tried to remove one RAM stick, interchanging positions etc. Still my laptop is hanging randomly. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Try Memtest, link in my sig.

If each module passes 5 tests or so I would run scandisk on the hard drive.

I tried Memtest, it takes a really long time, I stopped it after running for about 2 hrs, no errors found. May be I need to run it longer.

Laptop Model No - Toshiba Satellite L305-S5885 - Core 2 Duo T5750 2 GHz - 15.4" TFT
