Hello,
--- snip ---
I ran 'fsck hda2' after booting into rescue mode. When fsck finished, it displayed the message "no corruption found", which I thought was odd. I was then able to boot normally into run level 5. But when I tried to copy some files (via the Gnome file manager), the system crashed again. I do recall that when I did the last YOU update, there were some Gnome file system changes.
Is there anything else I can try?
My laptop was exhibiting the same symptoms a few months ago. It had a bad solder on the mainboard. Whenever I did something that caused the laptop to heat up, such as reading/writing data, the machine would shutdown. The abrupt shutdown was a failsafe to protect the CPU. It was not repairable. One month out of warranty. Thanks Toshiba! I sincerely hope your laptop is not having the same type of issues. And I hope you have your data backed up. Regards -- Christopher Shanahan
Thanks very much for your help.
