Toshiba Laptop Satellite with Windows 8 freezes randomly what should I do?
It is only one year old.
Intel i7 3610QM @2.30 Hz.
8 gb ram.
Intel 1000 graphics card.
If possible, please also:
- open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc)
- expand the Custom Views category (left click on the > next to the words "Custom Views")
- right click on Administrative Events
- select "Save all Events in Custom View as..."
- save the file as Admin.evtx
- zip up the file (right click on it, select "Send to", select "Compressed (zipped) folder")
- upload it with your next post (if it's too big, then upload it to a free file-hosting service and post a link here).
Pretty sure that it has one, but haven't checked inside the case!
Memory
upgraded to 12 gB from 8 gB
Graphics Card(s)
has switchable - Intel/ATI - Used wrong drivers, now ATI card is inop :( Will have to fix it soon!

I'm nearly deaf, so this isn't used often

Touchscreen on laptop/32" Toshiba on HDMI (laid the Sharp TV on a mouse and cracked the screen!)

One Samsung 1tB drive - 5400 rpm. Gonna switch to a 7200/10000 rpm or an SSD (if I can find $500 for a 1tB SSD!)

PSU
Why do we ask this for laptops?

Cooling
sub-par, gotta get around to working on it soon Worked on it - still sub-par! :(
Keyboard
