actually its not blowing cold air its normal, but as i said in the original post it freezes the whole thing and u cant move the mouse or anything and u have to restart it when its in high power but when in low power it works normally but slower. any idea?

they didnt ask my dad to pay unless they fixed it, but to answer ur other question it is blowing some cold air out. What does this mean? Any other ideas?

Hey everyone! I just had a question on my old laptop. Its been sitting around for a while and i decided to try and fix it after having my dad take it around to a bunch of repair shops, but none could fix it. Well to make a long story short, its a toshiba m55-s325 and i beleive it has a pentium m 740 1.73 ghz processor. Anyway when we truned it on it would stay on for a little and then freeze after about a minute and u had to restart it! Today, i figured out the problem by going to the bios settings and changing the cpu power from dynamic to always low. I dont understand why but when i put it on low (only 800 mhz instead of 1.73 ghz) it wouldnt freeze anymore so i put it back on dynamic and it froze again. Does anyone know why this is the cause? Do i need a new cpu cause they are cheap so i can get one soon. Please leave ur opinion on what the problem could be.

OMG!!!! i did the bios update and it failed. Now my computer wont turn on when i click the on switch. i do not recommend doing a bios update unless you are having problems. I did it and now i dont even have a laptop.

isnt this update only for vista, or can i download it for xp?

Hey everyone, i wanted to ask all of those who know how to do a bios update. I have a toshiba a135-s4527 laptop and it currently installed windows xp onto it. I wanted to update the bios, because i beleive that i will get better performance like this and i will have more options. My laptop has phoenix v1.20 bios but i cant find anywhere to update it. Btw i checked on toshiba site but it only has bios update fgor vista nad i have xp now so can anyone help me?
