It may be bad RAM, if the laptop is still new/under warranty you can try calling toshiba support and seeing if they will help you out. They will probably have their own set of tests they will ask you to run to determine what's going on.

What error code is on the blue screen? (ie. STOP 0x0000007c (0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000) )

I have basically, a brand new HP/Compaq Presario R3000 ... I bought this new from Fry's, it died 2 weeks later, they wouldn't service or replace it.. said to go to HP.. I tried that, HP wanted me to disassemble it and do some testing with them.. I didn't pay $1300 for a new laptop to learn how to work on laptops, so.. I refused to work on it.. told them it was their warranty, they should take care of it.. needless to say, I have a dead Laptop that they won't warranty.. so.. what it does, or did, was come up with a blue screen of death, bunch of error codes, then says starting Physical Memory Dump, runs off huge numbers, then wa la.. its gone.. finally now, it does NOTHING.. won't even start up.. tried reload, finally got it to go all the way to the drivers disc supplied, then up comes the BSD and the Physical memory dump thing.. history repeats itself and its a black flat plastic thing that does nothing once again.. any ideas? or anyone know anyone that has had experience fixing this? or?.... thanks for any suggestions.. I've tried other forums, I've even gone to the CEO of HP.. his secretary basically said "get lost"... .. I did replace the memory, to no avail.. one tech said bad motherboard, another said good MB but bad BIOS chip.. so ?

HP have to replace the item if it's proved to bad manufacturing as I wouldn't expect any laptop to die after 2 weeks of use, I take mine to school every day and while it has a few scratches it hasn't died, this has been going on since September with no issues and mine's a HP, if they don't replace it you have a case to go to the regulatory commision for these sorts of things, in the U.K a company has to do it at their own expense I believe for example. It can't be that different in the U.S.
