If you can restore back a week before the issue started that may work
I need to find out which model you have
There are the following listed on Toshiba's site.
m35x-s149
m35x-s1491
m35x-s1492

Which is yours and then I can find all the original drivers for you

the bios update seems to be working how is it that bios goes out of date? no rashes so far

[rshaffer61]

Bios updates puts added support for more recent hardware in the MOBO.
This will in turn stop the newer hardware from causing the crashing.

[lotus8]

so why did it just all the sudden start crashing do bios go out of date?

[rshaffer61]

I believe there are several factors that just came together at one time.

• Memory amount
• Drivers
• Bios

As a system gets older and the addition of programs. The system has to use more and more memory to run correctly.
Even from the beginning the system may have 512 megs of memory but the video card shares 64 megs of that.
This leaves in reality only 448 megs free.
Now every program that pb[Autoruns[/b] at startup chews away at that.
Remember the OS system needs 256 megs to itself also so now you are down to 192 megs left free.

Drivers well that's a obvious problem. There is always a newer or better one out there usually.

With the advance of the
CPU's
Device's
MOBO Capabilities
Bios are upgraded to try and add those features like USB 1.0 to USB 2.0

I hope this answer's your question and helps.
I justt hink it was honestly the combination of issues that was causing your issue.
