Sup.

My sisters laptop, which is a Toshiba L300, suddenly started to get some BSOD's, i figured out and it has reported as a HDD replacement.

Okay then, got a Samsung 500GB 2.5" drive., and then I tried to boot Windows 7 DVD.

Another BSOD. Well... That's weird. I tried to boot her HDD from my desktop computer, and it had booted with no problems.

Now my question is: How the heck did this happen?!

How old is the laptop? Board or video card could also be fritzed...

I tried with a total of 8 different RAM sticks. None are dead, which i tested ALL of them with memtest on another laptop.

Hard drive boots okay when connected to another laptop or desktop..

I'm starting to believe that the laptop has died, also.

But next week I'm going on disassembling it, to figure all it out.

As now as I can say' date=' it's up and running on Windows XP. I can notice that CPU temp is a bit too high, 58ºC for just a youtube page, facebook and this, including Skype open, doing nothing yet.. [/quote']

Probaly to much thermal paste?
