[QUOTE="fustigate, post: 1693903, member: 18799"] ^^ This. Although, it's a bit odd that it [I]doesn't[/I] make the noise when you shake it. That's typically when it makes [I]more[/I] noise. It could very well be causing the BSOD (look up that stop code 0x0000 etc. ), instead of a virus/malware/spyware (although, if you're not checking/scanning against those regularly, now would be a good time to). I don't think this has been addressed: if that stop code isn't a HDD issue, I've seen BSODs for video drivers, so check the code and then check Toshiba's support site for newer drivers. There might even be a BIOS update or a hard drive controller update. Back up your HDD while you still can. All of you. Right now. Do it. Qualifications: computer engineering degree, worked IT for several years, watched "Chuck" on NBC and they have a Geek Squad parody. [/QUOTE]
