I'm having an odd time with an A30 i've been given by work to fix (we normally run Acer lappys with less problems than the 2 Tosh rigs TBH)
The system will be running normally, but then the system locsk up, and the graphics on the screen become blocks of random colour. I've re-pasted the CPU as i figured it was a heat issue, but that has done absolutely nothing. I've also tried a different stick of RAM thinking it might be a stick gone bad (I hate IGP Graphics), but that hasn;t made a blind bit of difference.
This only seems to happen when the lappy gets warmed up. Not pulled the entire rig to bits yet (i'm _trying_ to avoid that), but if anyone has any ideas before i go any further would be much appreciated.
This happens if i'm in the BIOS or booted into XP. :\
Machine is a PSA30e-1896C-EN
2.8 P4 (Mobile i think)
256Mb of DDR2700
Not sure of the rest of the spec, it's refusing to run for more than 2 the bootup time atm.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help
