    Anyone have anyproblem with their Toshiba (this is an M5) mine will do small hangups-maybe 5-10 seconds 3-5 times a day, where you can't click on the open program, such as word or Explorer. You can still move mouse, num luck light still comes on, etc.

    Wondering if it is c conflict with McAFee or the crazy toshiba utilities that come pre-installed? Anyone know? Thanks

    Seems someone has the same trouble as me :eek: It doesn't happen to me as often, but I have these weird lock ups, one thing though, the lcd turns off and on again when it comes back to life.

    I've had this laptop for more than a year and have not found a cure to this. It seems to be related to the amount of stuff installed on my computer, and lately I noticed it only happens when using firefox, or visual studio. Not that it might not happen elsewhere, but that's where it did it always lately.

    It might not be the same problem though, is there a lot of hard drive activity when it happens? Could it just be a program sucking all the resources for a while? I would suspect the anti-virus.

    does event viewer show any warning messages? Check the applications tab in event viewer.
