I have a 2 year old Toshiba Satellite L300 which I had running windows 7 RC, until my trial ran out so i used the recovery disc i had from vista to get it working until I purchased the full copy once i got in vista i put all my files and programs from that point it was fine but starting about 3 weeks ago it started to freeze or come up with a blue screen with writing I have no idea what it said it went too quickly. I have managed to get on to vista about 4 times since then but recently I have just had it start show the Toshiba screen then go nrrwce (thats the sound it makes by the way) I think it could be the hdd or just vista being vista but i don't know

the specifications are
120gb hdd
1gb ram
2.00gigahertz intel Celeron
and windows vista home premium

It could be a lot of things: a virus, a corrupted hard drive, a corrupted file, a malfunction hardware, etc...

First look at your BIOS and see if everything's okay. Just to check, load the default options if nothing seem to be wrong (adjust only things you really need to, like which hd will boot). If you use a specific video card, try to run with your motherboard standard one. If it doesn't work, try this:

Run chfdsk in a prompt to check the disk health. It'll fix any fails in it. If it doesn't work again, try to reinstall a clean copy of Vista, this may work. If don't, try replacing your hd by another without problem and then installing Vista in it. If there's still a problem, there might be some hardware error or malfunction. In this case, try look for an assistance so they provide you the necessary help.
