Toshiba laptop problem

[lupi]

For the last couple of months my laptop will hang just about any time it is moved. Doesn't take much, could be as little as picking it up from the desk and placing in your lap. Any easy/obvious things to look for that may be causing this?

Loose Ram.
or possibly Hard Disk.

Also depending on the laptop, it could be the video card. Basically check anything with a cover on the bottom.

Another thing to check is to make sure the DRIVE BAY (CD-DVD, Floppy)
LOCK is fully enaged (lock position).

I did put an extra ram module in when I bought it, so will check that.

Don't think it could be a video card as I don't believe any of Toshibas are made to be upgradable and I know mine isn't.
