Hi,

My girlfriend has a Toshiba Equium A60, which has recently starting giving me the 'Blue screen'. I googled the error message, which tells me it's either overheating, or the RAM is bad.

My question is, within the BIOS I cannot find the CPU temperature anywhere, am I missing something? It has two pages, but it doesn't seem to be listed on either. Is there another way to find it out?

The BIOS is ACPI BIOS version 1.90, if that helps?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Well the BIOS will only be telling you the idle temp, so it probably won't be much good anyways. Have you tried temperature monitoring applications such as speedfan and coretemp? Run Prime 95 for a while (a few hours, may take less to reach the peak temperature), and see if the temps are within the processor's limits.
