So now, the technical support hotline people are telling me that I need to
send my laptop off for a diagnosis of the problem. I am in the middle of my
semester for grad school and I CANNOT afford to send my laptop off because of
school constraints, and I CANNOT afford to have my computer screen blanking
out and losing my work. So my question is, can I fix this problem without
sending my computer off??? Right now I have disabled my graphics card, and
my system isn’t slowed down too much, however I am afraid that the problem
will only worsen from here. But at least my screen isn’t blanking out and
I’m not losing work.
So, any solutions, ideas, suggestions????

I purchased my laptop from Best Buy and bought the extended warranty
from them, so I plan to take my computer in and have them check it out.
It is frustrating that this is happening. Sadly, I'm glad to know that
I'm not the only one with this issue. I just wish Toshiba would be more
willing to help out.

Also, when I upgraded it lost the connection to my HP printer and sound and
I've tried all the ways I know how to reconnect to them.
I might just try what you did in the time being, that's good info. In
the event viewer, I'm seeing an error in the Kernel-WHEA section that
may be a RAM or CPU issue. Maybe has to do with graphics card
allocating memory? The other A215's where I took my laptop showed the
same error. (And referencing the other post, I've tried several
different ATI drivers, to no avail).
A lot of people are having the same problem. Toshiba is in the
process of trying to figure out how to fix. It could be as simple as
a BIOS update, but it could involve a hardware replacement. The guy I
took my laptop to said to hold tight until they come up with a fix.
It sounds ridiculous, but it is what it is. I plan to continually
call until this thing is fixed.
Good luck!
Thank you!
By the way, here are my system specs:

ATI Radeon x1200 graphics card

I was crashing at least once a day, and after this change, I've gone
all day without a crash. Thanks for the tip! Obviously there is a
problem that needs to be fixed, at least until Toshiba can figure it
out, I have a usable laptop now.
Thanks!
