Freezing Tecra A8

anya_aa has sparked a discussion on the Toshiba Computer Systems Support Forum regarding Tecra A8s freezing.

After buying Tecra A8 in February, she found that within a month of purchase the screen began to freeze randomly, working well sometimes and freezing at others. As there are no resource intensive programmes being used and the general usage is normal it is a bit unclear what the problem is. Since logging the problem many users have discussed experiences and offered their ideas, especially Silas who claims that in his experience Tecras are the best notebooks so it’s probably something software related. Anki62 has also replied, claiming the same problem as anya_aa, suggesting it is more than a one off.
