    Hi,
    I got this laptop a few months ago, around the end of January. Even though it's relatively new, I've experienced BSOD errors for some reason - atleast five times to date, and that too within a 3 week period (3 weeks back from this day - around mid-March). I'm not sure what it is though, so I'm just asking around for ideas.

    There was a BSOD today, in fact. I suspect some MS Update - for instance, at 6 pm I noticed a little pop up declaring windows was downloading/installing an update. Ten minutes later, there's a BSOD. So for now, I've used system restore and turn of automatic installing. If it helps, I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, and from what I could glean from an error report from the Action Center, there was some BCCode of a0? Oh, and i haven't updated any of the drivers (since the procedure through Toshiba is quite confusing - though I have noticed some kind of BIOS update there).

    Cheers,
    Partick

    P.S - Though I know where the minidump directory is, I can't access it? Also, there's seems to be no C;/windows/minidump folder.
