BSOD. Now even BIOS won't load.

[zerocool]

1) I was using uTorrent and it was very slow and showed 100% memory usage. I checked some forums and following their advice, changed the preferences setting (in uTorrent) to use 50% of the RAM. This resolved the issue but after a while it began to freeze.
2) Soon it began to freeze every time windows was loading. Sometimes it would not even reach Windows.
3) I somehow got into safe mode and ran a deep virus scan. About 35% of the way through it blue screened (screenshot attached)


Now, BIOS won't load.

Grateful for any assistance.

Hi Zero

Test your RAM

Here is a link with a tutorial

Tried your suggestion. "Test your RAM".

Thanks VistaKing,

Tried your suggestion. "Test your RAM".

No luck. It won't boot from USB. It does not even reach BIOS. Just a blank screen when I power on and a faint hum inside pretending it's doing something.

Any other suggestions?

I have read somewhere, that BIOS recovery may be an option. Acer Aspire 5315 Bios Recovery - Other Computer Related Discussions - The Elder Geek on Windows

Cheers,

Zero

That BIOS recovery won't work on your Toshiba laptop .

Is there some way I can get a tool for Toshiba Satellite A300 Bios Recovery?
Any other suggestions?
Does the screenshot I attached help in any way?

Thanks,
Zero

Can you reset the memory ? Remove it and put it back in. For a laptop turn off laptop remove battery . For desktop shutdown and unplug power cord from power supply
