Hi all,
I recently opened up my laptop case to clean out all the dust (it was overheating...) Now that I put it all back together, it shuts itself off (complete power crash) after a few minutes. The first thing I thought was that the RAM was corrupt, I bought new RAM, and upgraded it from 4 to 8gb. Weird thing is that the more RAM that is in it, the sooner it crashes. So, with 2gb of RAM, it will run and shut off after any attempt at the computer multitasking, with 4gb of RAM, the computer will turn on, but as soon as I try to open any software it crashes, if I put the full 8gb of RAM in, I can't even get to the logon screen.
My computer:
Toshiba A500
Intel i3
Windows 8
RAM (variable!)
