1119504 2010-07-19 11:20:00 Have you loaded the dmp file with something like bluescreenview, to see what the cause maybe? Thats if it can get into windows. Hmm that stop error may mean there's a faulty driver as well. Will it boot into safe mode without crashing, (if it doesnt crash in safe mode, its probably a driver), or will last known good config work? Speedy Gonzales (78)

1119506 2010-07-19 20:39:00 Yeah it always comes back up straight away just fine, restart immediately and she's back up and running.

Thanks Roger, I think thats for the A200 model, her's is the L300, but I've grabbed the L300-specific drivers from that site and she's still having issues :(

In the mean time I'm thinking I'll take all her data, throw it on my Macbook, and give that to her for a wee while, while I take the Toshiba back to PBTech to see if I can get the RAM replaced, still well under it's 12 month warranty.

It's gonna be difficult to get them to replace it though when it won't show up as faulty in a RAM Scan :(
Tempted to reinstall windows and then run some stress testing applications to see if we can make it fall over some more ...

1119509 2010-07-20 04:18:00 If it has multiple sticks try taking one or more out, mine actually ran fine if I used either stick (in either slot) but both together would BSOD quickly.

I still have no idea why, i've never seen this kind of thing before or since
