    Hi Everyone, Happy New Year.

    Laptop (Toshiba Satellite L300D) completely freezes or screen goes funny with lots of random colours chequered across the screen. A reformat has not helped. Has been doing this for a long time. Memtest86+ shows all to be fine, pagefile is fine, temperatures look normal. It crashes at random times. Sometimes can go for days without a crash. Have checked disk and divers, also updated drivers and all looks fine but still laptop continues to crash. Laptop had this problem when it originally had Vista on. Is now running Windows 7 32 bit Ultimate. I will attach some minidumps and a screenshot of the folder to show the frequency.

    Think it might be a hardware fault but would be good to know specifically what it is.

    Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

    What sort of heat monitoring are you using?

    Heat monitoring

    Used speedfan as mentioned on the 'Troubleshooting sudden reboots/crashes' Forum.
