BSOD random, intermitent, casual use varied causes
Hi guys Im new to this forum and would like to start off by apologizing for my essay in advance but i thought i would try to give as much info at once as i could! I have been looking around the web for quite awhile now looking to solve the issue myself and I believed I had solved until the it then came back.
Ill start from the beginning, Im using a oldish laptop handed down as my old laptop died but that's beside the point its a Toshiba Satelite P200 10O and out of the "blue" pardon the pun the laptop started to crash and i receive the BSOD unbeknown to me i ignorantly just let the laptop restart and off i went again surfing the web, usual stuff nothing strenuousness, the BAM again with the blue screen this time with a different error but the most common seem to be IRQL_less_than_or_equal and a couple others (Ill elaborate further on).
So after abit of research i believed it to be either be a memory problem/immanent hard drive failure/ or corrupt drivers causing errors.
So I ran the Memtest86+ for about 14 hours and all came back clear no problems so i assumed that problem could be the hard drive so I used Acronis and did a full backup onto another drive that i knew was fine and had no problems and straight swapped out the old for new and all was ok for couple hours and as soon as i thought i had the problem solved BAM blue screen again!
At this point i was slightly perplexed to say the least so i thought, ok i got a back up of all my stuff on the old drive so i thought i would wipe the drive and install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate(btw i was on vista before) and everything has been great even with low 2gb of ram everything is great alot faster and no really problems UNTIL i started to receive the messages again and its now at this point im completely bamboozled!
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post :)
