Hello listers,

Following on from Douglas's problem, I, too, have trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A60 Pro. Ironically, it's three years old. I installed AVG 8.0 yesterday and ran a full computer check for viruses and spyware. The results showed a clean bill of health. I tried to boot up today and the first time all I heard was the hard drive speeding up and slowing down and not much else, so after a few minutes I held the button in to shut down and rebooted. Now Windows starts and then suddenly shuts down with the message "System error". Looks like a full reinstall is the only way to solve the problem. fortunately I have all original CD's including the Toshiba recovery disc. I don't really mind, as this is the first major crash needing a full reinstall.

Just as well I've backed up all my personal stuff onto a USB drive and we have a working desktop PC.

Best wishes,

Clive Pallett
