Hi everyone, I've been given a Libretto 100CT machine because it is not working quite correctly. It has both Windows 98 and 2000 installed on a 20Gb drive with 64Mb and is clocked to 266MHz. When I try to boot the machine, some times it works, and others, the screen will do strange things like shift out of place, or the sound will get corrupted. Once in Win 2000 the usual result is a random hang, with nothing working, power button or reset, so I have to remove the AC and battery to reboot the machine. Sometimes I also do not even get the Toshiba BIOS logo. Ive found that if this happens once, the only way to fix it is to remove the hard drive and boot up. The machine reports no drive, then putting it back in and rebooting will allow the machine to work again for perhaps a couple of hours. I am told that this has just started happening the last two days and the machine has been very reliable for a couple of years overclocked. It was dropped the other day, but surely that would just affect the hard drive? Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might try to solve the random hangs? Im tempted to clock it back to the manufacturer's specs, but would prefer trying everything else before opening it up. Thanks for listening.
