Toshiba satellite 1800 reinstal

[The_garr]

hi I was wondering if you guys would know what the problem with this laptop might be,

It runs fine unplugged, played a card game on it, then I plug it it (which the owner mostly has it plugged in) and started to play another card game, it works for a couple minutes and then dies. It doesn't load a bit or anything it dies like unplugging a desktop (that quick) any Idea's?

Hi everybody,

I got this toshiba satellite 1800 notebook that keeps shutting down just before the operating system finish loading. I've reformatted the system and started afresh but it just won'nt hold stable. The operating system is win XP.
i'll appreciate all the help i can get.

Sounds like possible heat issue
I would also get goldmem and test the memory
