I have a NGO friend's above laptop that I am trying to assist. The OS is windows 7 professional and everytime it boots into normal mode, the laptop crashes with the message ;
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to your computer.
If this is the first time u have seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer, if this screen appears again, follow these steps.
...............
..........
Technical information :
*** STOP : {LOTS OF 0s and numbers)
and the last line is :
collecting data for crash dump ....
The screen freezes and I have to power off and power on again and go into safe mode, if I were to start in normal mode, it happens again.
I am not sure whether the User dropped his laptop and it is a hardware problem. If this is my guess, how do I test the laptop with any utility since i can only boot in safe mode. in a recent crash, I managed to save the attached crash error notes, and hope this is useful and give a clue of what is happening. I also ran a malware bytes scan and it did not reveal anything.
please advise me how to go from here for the fix.
Thank u. toshiba-dump.txt
