Hi,

I have recently been experiencing daily crashes with my toshiba laptop. The
blue screen error messages never stay for long but I usually get an error
report via micrsofts error reporting feature.

I seem to have uncovered two problems:
1) unknown device driver - I have opened device manager and gone through all
drivers on my c drive and all are reported to work normally so not sure which
one is the culprit.
2) faulty memory - this is a recent one so not sure what this relates to;
presume its to do with the loaded RAM.

If anyone can offer some advice I would appreciate it as my laptop is slowly
becoming useless while working on the internet.

Thanks,

Try downloading the memory tester from microsoft,usually one downloads
and installs it to a MS-DOS floppy,then boots to a floppy.However i believe
it'll run off a cd also,get it at:http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
Thiers also a fix for xp,filter drivers,kb914882 Also,open C: open windows,
locate "mini-dump" folder,delete it.

The memory is most assuredly RAM. You need to check the memory and replace
faulty chips.
The memory problem could be causing the device driver problems.
