mozilla firefox browser intermittent restarts

#Mozilla firefox browser intermittent restarts software

Here's what I've been able to figure out:ġ. I bought the computer in July 04 and did not have the freezing problem until I installed XP SP2 and Office 2003 SP. I just joined the forum and have a Toshiba A75-S2762. I will let you know what happens with my case When I sent it the second time, I wrote on the packing slip, 'System crashes frequently after heavy use-overheating problem suspected.' On the repair summary that came back with the unfixed computer, the technician noted under 'Symptoms' only, 'Bad HDD.' Under 'Repair actions,' the checkbox for 'CoolingFan' was left blank.Ĭustomer service is supposed to call me tomorrow. The first time, the computer got a new system board, the next time a new hard drive. I sent the computer to Toshiba Notebook Depot in Louisville twice. I tried running the computer without the battery in place.

I followed all the advice from the technicians including using the CD to revert to the factory software installation. I think it was the first technician I talked with who said incorrectly there was a 30 day limit for returning it to Best Buy. I couldn't return it to Best Buy because the two weeks was up before I figured out that this was a hardware problem. I am now up to my 5th case number from Toshiba.

The computer crashed one time when I was doing a help search in the XP interface, i.e., I was not in either Word or Access. Just leaving the computer on overnight or surfing the web, it has not locked up in those situations. When it freezes, the only way out is to turn off the computer. It only freezes when I am working at the keyboard and mouse. Then, once it starts, it happens frequently so the computer becomes useless for doing work. At least once, I worked the whole day without a crash. The freezing doesn't occur when I first start working. The machine has frozen in both of those applications about 25 times. I bought my computer at Best Buy on August 8, 2004. Same crash problem with Toshiba Satellite A75-S206ĭid a web search for 'Toshiba A75 problem' and I found this thread. If you’ve read this far, thanks! I’m hoping one might have some ideas as to what I should look into or what someone may think the problem is. It is turned on all the time as I do have a wireless network at home.

I have thought maybe it is possible that it is my wireless, but I’m not sure. I’m not 100% sure about this and I haven’t found any evidence yet to support that will 100% support that conclusion. My computer doesn’t get as hot as like I can’t put my hands on it. My suspicion is that it maybe overheating. But it locks up too even when I’m not using those programs. Usually, this happens when I’m using Dreamweaver MX or Photoshop. I don’t think so as sometimes it just locks up even when I’m working and using the computer. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the power configuration. I don’t believe it is any of these applications as the “freezing” happens when I have various programs open. NET 2003, Photoshop 7, MSIE, Mozilla Firefox, SQL Server 2000, MS IIS 5.1 Ram: 768 MB (Original RAM + Samsung 256 MB PC2700)Īpplications I generally use (of course, not all together concurrently): Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Visual Studio. It doesn’t seem to be any specific program that is causing the problem. I’ve tried to write down the applications running during the time of my computer freezing. Sometimes when I’m not doing anything and sometimes when I’m working on a memory intensive application. There’s really no determining factor as to when the freeze occurs. The mouse is stuck and the only thing that I can do is to power off the machine and restart it. The entire computer locks up and ctrl-alt-delete doesn’t do anything. I’ve been getting intermittent freezing on my machine lately. I just got a new Toshiba Laptop (A75-S206).
