Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-5263 running XP Home which, without warning, dies.
After a period of time it will come back.
Any suggestions pls?
Thanks
Gill

Howszit?

I see that this notebook is a P4? It could be a heat issue. Does it have a fan cooling system? Are its vents blocked? If that looks ok, I'd check out its power settings and make sure that its not set to go into any kind of hibernation or sleep events, (especially when plugged in). You may want to try the system with its battery removed and only powered from the mains as well..

Good luck...
