computer help needed
Hey guys, I've had a Toshiba laptop since last August. It was fine until about a month ago when it started freezing, getting more frequent as time went by. Then, last week the screen would go blank but no screen saver, and I could not "awake" it. So I reformatted the hard drive last night, but if froze up on me twice since then, the blank screen thing happened again, and this morning when I turned it on it said something happened that prevented it from opening normally. When I chose for it to continue, it loaded up, "Windows starting", and right before the desktop showed up the screen went to a pink, black, and white striped screen. I was running Spybot, adaware, and Norton antivirus beforehand, which didn't find anything. Are there any viruses that couldh've stayed in the HD after reformatting?

Could be motherboard, harddrive, or a keyboard malfunction.
If that badboy is still under warranty, time to get it serviced.
If after a reformat and reload of the OS it still happens, I'd suspect hardware at this point.

Have had my Kodak camera software hooked to it since day one, got a 7 port USB drive and numeric pad a few month ago, using wireless card that came with it, nothing new really. Bought extended warranty from CompUSA, guess I'll be using it. I jsut hate not having the computer for very long. Thanks for the help.
