Hi i have a tosihba equium l350d . the hard drive keep cutting off after 10-20 minutes, i'v changed the hard drive and cleaned the fan with a hoover , dust came out, but still have the problem, any idea what i can do?
I dont think its the hdd. its most likely the cpu. clean the heat sink and see if the fan is still working, you may even want to clean it a apply new thermal paste
if this helps please take time to rate
i have checked the fan works, the thermal paste is something new to me , but will definitely try it, what exactly is the heat sink?
if the comp is left for 1-2 hour's then it will run for 20 odd minutes but if it try to restart straight after the hdd has stopped it will run for maybe 10 min and with each try the time of running reduced. so i reckon it something to do with heat!

the firm ware in the machine (depending how old it is)might not recognise that size drv or it needs formating,either way you can fix this with Disk Wizard.

you may plug off remote monitor power on to see carefully is there normal dark picture on your lcd screen,
!) lcd dark but there is pcture on the screen, it means the back lights inverter damage(which in the lcd lid and downside of lcd panel), or lamp damage (in the lcd panel), have to replace new parts
2) no any picture and dark panel, you may check lcd signal cable plugs are right seat in the sockets (which located between the back of lcd panel and motherboard), also check the inverter cable same thing (it merges in LCD cable) . it is better replace a new cable (most cases are cable disconnection somewhere)
is this helpful please feedback when you checked, iwill tell you what you can do next, thanks

the heat sink is what sit on top of the processor and the fan coole the heat sink. best way to clean old thermal paste fron heat sink and processor is with a foan sponge.
thanks will give it try and let u know how it goes , appreciate your help
hi iv cleaned and applied new paste but it made no difference. then i started it in safe mode and it worked fine for about 90minutes. so now i don't know which function is making this turn off
the inverter, video board, hdd have nothing to do with the unit not staying powered on. you have reseated ram. have you checked bios to be sure setting are accurate? udates could some times screws things up. im a dedicated technician for usbank and I know this for sure about updates screwing things up in bios configuration. after all is checked out I would go with a mainboard swap. be happy its not an hp because pc goes into secure state after mobo swap and its a pain in the if you have not done this!
i didnt do any update's that i can remember, do you know if the bios can be reset? i don't know to much about computers etc, s
